Ring Current Investigations offers a comprehensive description of
ring current dynamics in the Earth's magnetosphere as part of the
coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere system. In order to help
researchers develop a deeper understanding of the fundamental
physics of geomagnetic storms, it includes a detailed description
of energetic charged particles injection, trapping, and loss. It
reviews historical and recent advances in observations,
measurements, theory and simulations of the inner magnetosphere and
its coupling to the ionosphere and other surrounding plasma
populations. In addition, it compares the physics of ring currents
at other strongly magnetized planets in the solar system,
specifically Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, with the ring
current system at Earth. Providing a description of the most
important space weather effects driven by inner magnetospheric
energetic particles during geomagnetic storms and present
capabilities for their nowcast and forecast, Ring Current
Investigations is an important reference for researchers in
geophysics and space science, especially related to plasma physics,
the ionosphere and magnetosphere, solar-terrestrial relations, and
spacecraft anomalies.

Advanced aerial mobility is a newly emerging industry that aims to
develop and operate new air vehicles potentially capable of safe,
reliable, and low-noise vertical flight. The world has seen a
recent increase in the adoption of electric vertical lift aircraft
for urban, suburban and rural operations. These new innovations and
technologies change the way that we move cargo and people,
affecting industries across the economy. These changes will
challenge today's airspace monitoring systems and regulatory
environment. The U.S. government and its regulatory agencies need
technical guidance to facilitate the development of these
technologies, and to create the regulatory framework to foster the
growth of this vertical flight industry to the benefit of the
aviation industry. Advancing Aerial Mobility evaluates the
potential benefits and challenges associated with this emerging
industry. This report provides recommendations that seek to foster
an environment in which the nation can maintain its leading
position in developing, deploying, and embracing these new
technologies. This publication presents a national vision for
advanced aerial mobility, market evolution, and safety and security
management. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1 Introduction 2
