The Dynamic Magnetosphere

About this book

The articles contained in this book describe the latest research results in solar wind-magnetosphere interaction, magnetospheric substorms, magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, transport phenomena in the plasma sheet, wave and particle dynamics in the ring current and radiation belts, and extra-terrestrial magnetospheric systems. The book also highlights innovative methods and techniques for the study of geospace.
