Space storms, the manifestation of bad weather in space, have a
number of physical effects in the near-Earth environment:
acceleration of charged particles in space, intensification of
electric currents in space and on the ground, impressive aurora
displays, and global magnetic disturbances on the Earth's surface.
Space weather has been defined as conditions on the Sun and in the
solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere that can
influence the performance and reliability of space- and
ground-based technological systems and can endanger human life'.
The 19 chapters of this book, written by some of the foremost
experts on the topic, present the most recent developments in space
storm physics and related technological issues, such as malfunction
of satellites, communication and navigation systems, and electric
power distribution grids.
Readership: researchers, teachers and graduate students in space
physics, astronomy, geomagnetism, space technology, electric power
and communication technology, and non-specialist physicists and
engineers.
As recommended in the United Nations Space & Atmospheric
Science Education Curriculum booklet. Please find it amongst
classics such as T.J.M. Boyd, J.J. Sanderson, J.K. Hargreaves and
M.C. Kelly etc.
