A <physicist> whose work with <Edward Victor Appleton> tested the return of <radio waves> from the upper atmosphere. Their experiments supplied evidence for reflecting ionized layers and distinguished returns from different heights. The <Appleton-Barnett radio interference experiment> thus connects an observed ground-level interference signal to the structure of the <ionosphere>, explaining how radio communication can reach beyond the direct line of sight.<Barnett, Miles Aylmer Fulton by John Gabites>[Research paragraphs: Cambridge radio propagation experiments and evidence for two ionized reflecting layers]{ref}
