PDF-(EBOOK)-Basics of the Solar Wind (Cambridge Atmospheric and Space Science Series)

The Sun continually ejects matter into space blowing a huge bubble of supersonic plasma This solar wind bathes the whole solar system and shapes all planetary environments The growth of space technology has considerably increased our knowledge of this medium This 2007 book presents an introduction to the subject starting with basic principles and including all the latest advances from space exploration and theory It contains a short introduction to plasma physics and discusses the structure of the solar interior and atmosphere the production of solar wind and its perturbations It explains the objects of the Solar System from dust to comets and planets and their interaction with the solar wind The final sections explore the astrophysical point of view The topics are treated at various levels of difficulty both qualitatively and quantitatively This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in earth and atmospheric sciences and astrophysics. :.

Spacecraft interact with the space environment in ways that may affect the operation of the spacecraft as well as any scientific experiments that are carried out from the spacecraft platform. In turn the study of these interactions provides information on the space environment. The adverse environmental effects, such as the effect of the radiation belts on electronics, and spacecraft charging from the magnetospheric plasma, means that designers need to understand interactive phenomena to be able to effectively design spacecraft. This has led to the new discipline of spacecraft-environment interactions. The emphasis in this book is on the fundamental physics of the interactions. Spacecraft-Environment Interactions is a valuable introduction to the subject for all students and researchers interested in the application of fluid, gas, plasma and particle dynamics to spacecraft and for spacecraft system engineers. 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. Physics of the Space Environment explores the basic processes in the Sun, in the interplanetary medium, in the near-Earth space, and down into the atmosphere. The first part of the book summarizes fundamental elements of transport theory relevant for the atmosphere, ionosphere and the magnetosphere. This theory is then applied to physical phenomena in the space environment. The fundamental physical processes are emphasized throughout, and basic concepts and methods are derived from first principles. This book is unique in its balanced treatment of space plasma and aeronomical phenomena. Students and researchers with a basic mathematics and physics background will find this book invaluable in the study of phenomena in the space environment. CHALLENGES FOR THE WIND ENERGY . INDUSTRY.
