Space Weather

The Physics Behind a Slogan

Herausgegeben: Scherer, K.; Fichtner, H.; Heber, B.

Beschreibung

The various processes that connect the physics of the Sun with that of the Earth's environment has become known as "Space Weather" during recent years, a slogan that has emerged in connection with many other expressions adapted from meteorology, such as solar wind, magnetic clouds or polar rain. This volume is intended as a first graduate-level textbook-style account on the physics of these solar-terrestrial relations and their impact on our natural and technological environment.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The aim of this book is to give an in-depth look at the physics behind the space weather phenomena ... . This book has ... succeeded in its aim of providing the reader with an in-depth look at the physics involved in space weather. ... Grammatically, the book is excellent throughout ... . All the chapters have illustrative figures and ... include very interesting reference lists. ... I found this book in general quite interesting and educational." (Norma B.
