This book provides a systematic introduction to the observation and
application of kinetic Alfven waves (KAWs) in various plasma
environments, with a special focus on the solar-terrestrial
coupling system. Alfven waves are low-frequency and long-wavelength
fluctuations that pervade laboratory, space and cosmic plasmas.
KAWs are dispersive Alfven waves with a short wavelength comparable
to particle kinematic scales and hence can play important roles in
the energization and transport of plasma particles, the formation
of fine magneto-plasma structures, and the dissipation of turbulent
Alfven waves. Since the 1990s, experimental studies on KAWs in
laboratory and space plasmas have significantly advanced our
understanding of KAWs, making them an increasingly interesting
subject. Without a doubt, the solar-terrestrial coupling system
provides us with a unique natural laboratory for the comprehensive
study of KAWs. This book presents extensive observations of KAWs in
solar and heliospheric plasmas, as well as numerous applications of
KAWs in the solar-terrestrial coupling system, including solar
atmosphere heating, solarwind turbulence, solar wind-magnetosphere
interactions, and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling. In addition,
for the sake of consistency, the book includes the basic theories
and physical properties of KAWs, as well as their experimental
demonstrations in laboratory plasmas. In closing, it discusses
possible applications of KAWs to other astrophysical plasmas.
Accordingly, the book covers all the major aspects of KAWs in a
coherent manner that will appeal to advanced graduate students and
researchers whose work involves laboratory, space and astrophysical
plasmas.
