Description
This work deals with upper atmosphere physics, the magnetosphere and the solar wind. Some topics covered within these areas are geomagnetic pulsations and plasma waves, storms and substorms in the magnetospheres and auroras.
Reviews / Votes
"All of the contributions provide good up-to-date general surveys of their topics...and will thus prove useful starting points for the new postgraduate." - NATURE "Geomagnetism represents an excellent effort to update the field of solar system magnetism; no institutional library should be without these volumes." - PHYSICS TODAY "The first three chapters...provide the most comprehensive account of the earth's core magnetohydrodynamics presently available. The book serves two purposes; firstly it provides an excellent reference book for mature research workers in the field; secondly the clarity of the exposition makes the book essential reading for young research workers and nonspecialists." - PHYSICS OF THE EARTH AND PLANETARY INTERIORSMore details
