Handbook Of Solar Wind [Hardcover]

This book contains the work of prominent scientists in the fields of solar and space plasma physics, and space and planetary physics. It makes a significant contribution to the theory, modeling and experimental methods of the solar wind exploration. The main objective of the book is to provide the latest knowledge regarding solar wind formation and elemental composition, the interplanetary dynamical evolution and acceleration of the charged plasma particles, and the guiding magnetic field that connects to the magnetospheric field lines and that adjusts the effects of the solar wind on the Earth. Many of the scientists actively working and researching in these fields will find this book full of several new and interesting ideas.
