The plan of this book is to identify the multitude of processes that operate in the upper atmosphere, and to relate them to observed phenomena by detailed mathematical and physical descriptions of the governing processes.
As the search for Earth-like exoplanets gathers pace, in order to understand them, we need comprehensive theories for how planetary atmospheres form and evolve. Written by two well-known planetary scientists, this text explains the physical and chemical principles of atmospheric…
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the physical phenomena that result from the interaction of the Sun and the planets - often termed space weather. Physics of the Space Environment explores basic processes in the Sun, in the interplanetary medium, in the near-Ear…
