Space weather : fundamentals
Contributor(s): Khazanov, George V. [ed.].
Publisher: Boca Raton CRC Press 2016Description: xvii, 402p.ISBN: 9780367875558.Subject(s): Space scienceDDC classification: 523.2 | Sp11 Summary: Space weather is one of the most significant natural hazards to human life and health. Conditions of the sun and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and thermosphere can influence the performance and reliability of space-borne and ground-based technological systems. If conditions in the space environment are adverse, they can cause disruption of satellite operations, communications, navigation, and electric power distribution grids, leading to a variety of socioeconomic losses. This book provides an overview of our current knowledge and theoretical understanding of space weather formation and covers all major topics of this phenomena, from the sun to the Earth’s ionosphere and thermosphere, thus providing a fully updated review of this rapidly advancing field. The book brings together an outstanding team of internationally recognised contributors to cover topics such as solar wind, the earth's magnetic field, radiation belts, the aurora, spacecraft charging, orbital drag and GPS.| Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
