Building from the basics to more complex ideas, the book contains enough material for a two-semester course but the authors also provide suggestions for how the material can be tailored to fit a single semester.
The book concludes with a brief chapter on instrumentation. In this third edition, numerous examples have been added to illustrate the basic concepts and aid the reader in applying such concepts to real world physics.
This text provides a comprehensive introduction to space physics.
Historical surveys consider Judeo-Christian notions of space, Newtonian absolute space, perceptions from 18th century to the present, more.
NSF will also be enabled to provide key data streams from platforms such as Iridium and to support space weather ... for continuous measurement of critical space environment parameters, but does not have a program that sustains the ...
As space physics approaches the new era, there should be no reason why space scientists cannot contribute, in a similar manner, to fundamental discoveries in plasma physics in the course of understanding dynamical processes in space plasmas ...
Exercise problems of varying difficulty are embedded within the main body of the text. This unique, authoritative book introduces and accurately depicts the current state-of-the-art in the field of space storms.
Arranged sequentially, the books examine the Sun and the solar wind, magnetospheres in the Solar system, Earth's ionosphere, Earth's upper atmosphere, and the effects of space weather.
This book is an attempt to meet that need by using the theory of classical electrodynamics to unify space observations.
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the physical phenomena that result from the interaction of the sun and the planets - often termed space weather.
