Auroral Dynamics and Space Weather, Hardback Book

Auroral Dynamics and Space Weather Hardback

Edited by Yongliang Zhang, Larry J. Paxton

Part of the Geophysical Monograph Series series

Hardback

Description

The aurora is the most visible manifestation of the connection of the Earth to the space environment and has inspired awe, curiosity, and scientific inquiry for centuries.  Recent advances in observing techniques and modeling and theoretical work have revealed new auroral phenomena, provided a better understanding of auroral dynamics, and have led to an enhanced capability for auroral forecasts. This monograph features discussions of:                                        New auroral phenomena due to the ring current ion and polar rain electron precipitationVarious auroral forms and hemispheric asymmetryAuroral model development and MHD simulationsApplication of the auroral observations for radio absorption and scintillationAurora nowcast and forecast for space weather operations  Auroral Dynamics and Space Weather is a valuable contribution for scientists, researchers, space weather operators, and students of Earth's space environment.
