This book describes essential concepts of, and the status quo in,
the field of ionospheric space weather. It explains why our society
on planet Earth and moving outwards into space cannot work safely,
function efficiently, or progress steadily without committed and
comprehensive research initiatives addressing space weather. These
initiatives must provide space environment specifications,
warnings, and forecasts, all of which need to be timely, accurate
and reliable. Cause and effect models of the Earth's ionosphere are
discussed in terms of the spatial and temporal dimensions of
background variability, storms, gradients, irregularities, and
waves in both current and long-term research activities. Starting
from dynamic processes on the Sun, in the interplanetary medium,
and in the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere, the
text focuses on the dominant features of the plasma medium under
normal and extreme conditions over the European zone during the
last few Solar Cycles. One of the book's most unique features is a
series of fundamental examples that offer profound insights into
ionospheric climate and weather. Various approaches for acquiring
and disseminating the necessary data and forecasting analyses are
discussed, and interesting analogies are observed between
terrestrial and space weather - both of which could produce lasting
social consequences, with not only academic but also concrete
economic implications. The book's primary goal is to foster the
development of ionospheric space weather products and services that
are capable of satisfying the ever-growing demand for space-based
technology, and are ready for the society of the not-so-distant
future.
