Presents a comprehensive synopsis of the current state of cosmic
rays, their modulation and their effects in the Earth's atmosphere.
Leading scientists in the field assess the current state of our
understanding of the spatial and temporal variations of galactic
and anomalous cosmic rays in the Heliosphere, and their relation to
effects of the Sun. The main objective is to understand the spatial
and temporal variation of galactic and anomalous cosmic rays in the
light of recent observations, theory and modeling by identifying
the key mechanism(s) of cosmic ray modulation and how changes on
the Sun relate to changes in the observed characteristics of cosmic
rays in the Heliosphere; examining the current long-lasting solar
minimum and understand its implications for solar-cycle variations
and long-term variations; and interpreting the long-term variations
of cosmogenic radionuclides in terms of solar variability and
climate change on Earth. This volume is aimed at graduate students
active in the fields of solar physics, space science, and cosmic
ray physics. Originally published in Space Science Reviews journal,
Vol. 176/1-4, 2013.
The various processes that connect the physics of the Sun with that
of the Earth`s environment has become known as "Space Weather"
during recent years, a slogan that has emerged in connection with
many other expressions adapted from meteorology, such as solar
wind, magnetic clouds or polar rain. This volume is intended as a
first graduate-level textbook-style account on the physics of these
solar-terrestrial relations and their impact on our natural and
technological environment.
