Edited sentence: 14 In the upper atmosphere, TMA, which is a highly voluble, ignites leaving trails which provide a visual display of the dynamic behavior within the ionosphere.A July 1997 report titled "Technical Information Document for the 1998 Coquí Sounding Rocket Campaign, The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico" noted that residue associated with the experiments may remain in the environment for a lengthy period of time and have large scale effects.According to NASA, the Coquí II project has been completed although addtional ionospheric testing has been conducted is El Yunque for Puerto Rico.As part of the Coquí Project, Trimethyaluminum (TMA) was released in the ionosphere at an altitude between 50 and 93 miles.NASA directed projects Coquí I and II to advance research into the behavior of the upper atmosphere.Residents near the area of the launch lodged complaints regarding the noise associated with the launches from Tortuguero, which is near the Arecibo Radio telescope.The 1997 report further noted that the Coquí II experiments may result in 100 pounds of lead falling into the Tortuguero Lagoon and nearby waters.The Coquí II project conducted from February to April 1998 consisted of the launch of 11 sub orbital rockets.The report also noted that a forested area was "clearly degraded" following the Coquí I experiments, and that it may take decades for the forests to recuperate.Though not explicitly military in nature, this field of research is of particular interest to the military since radio and satellite transmissions are used for command and control.Turbulance in the upper atmosphere affects radio and satellite transmissions.While NASA spokespeople claimed that all the TMA in the Coquí projects ignited before reaching the ground, swimmers at Rio Grande and Aguadilla reported rashes following the release of TMA above these areas following the 1992 Coquí I experiments
