The Magnetosphere, the High Latitude Ionosphere, and their Interactions

Recent research into solar-terrestrial physics shows that the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere and upper atmosphere form a closely coupled system. In this volume many of the world’s most distinguished atmospheric scientists describe the theoretical basis of this interaction and use the latest results from the AMPTE, Viking and other satellites to shed more light on this in the polar regions. Researchers in climatology, meteorology and atmospheric physics will find this book of great interest.
