Extreme ultraviolet and X-ray photons from the Sun generate a partially ionized region in the atmosphere of a planet called an ionosphere. Solar activity, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and changes in the ionizing irradiance affect planetary ionospheres on short…

A coherent introduction to auroral science with an emphasis on relatively simple physical interpretations and models.
The cycle of day and night and the cycle of seasons are two familiar natural cycles around which many human activities are organized. But is there a third natural cycle of importance for us humans? On 13 March 1989, six million people in Canada went without electricity for many …
Presents an all-encompassing guide to the sun, detailing its history, structure, and effect on human civilization.
At NASA's request, the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) was asked to consider radiation exposure to aviation crews and passengers on commercial flights resulting from high altitude flights. The report reviews current knowledge about radiation expo…
