Description

Magnetospheric MHD Oscillations

A groundbreaking new theory of the magnetosphere

The magnetosphere is the region around Earth in which our planet s magnetic field exerts its influence to trap charged particles. Waves in this magnetosphere, known as magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) oscillations, are caused by interactions between these charged particles, Solar wind pulses, and the magnetic field. The predictable interval between these oscillations enables them to serve as tools for understanding the magnetospheric plasma which comprises the field.

Magnetospheric MHD Oscillations offers a comprehensive overview of the theory underlying these waves and their periodicity. Emphasizing the spatial structure of the oscillations, it advances a theory of MHD oscillation that promises to have significant ramifications in astronomy and beyond.

Magnetospheric MHD Oscillations readers will also find:

  • Theorizing of direct relevance to current satellite missions, such as THEMIS and the Van Allen Probe
  • In-depth discussion of topics including Alfven resonance, waveguides in plasma filaments, and many more
  • Detailed appendices including key calculations and statistical parameters

Magnetospheric MDH Oscillations is ideal for plasma physicists, theoretical physicists, applied mathematicians, and advanced graduate students in these and related subfields.
