Geospace Electromagnetic Waves and Radiation [Hardcover]

The contributions gathered in this volume provide introductions to current problems in geospace electromagnetic radiation, guides to the associated literature and tutorial reviews of the relevant space physics. Students and scientists working on various aspects of the terrestrial aurora or magnetospheric and near-Earth heliospheric high-frequency waves will find this volume an indispensable companion for their studies.

From the reviews of the first edition:

The thirteen invited presentations which comprise this volume arose from a Workshop & on High frequency waves in geospace. The papers in this volume, written by well known and active research scientists, will be a most useful resource for postgraduate students and researchers alike. This is because this book constitutes an up-to-date source of material that is published in a wide array of journals. & I recommend it highly to readers who are interested in the topic. (M. J. Rycroft, Surveys in Geophysics, Vol. 27, 2006)
