Effects of space weather on technology infrastructureby Ioannis A. Daglis
Springer 2004; US$ 109.00The highly variable conditions in the Earth-related space environment, including the Sun, the interplanetary medium and the coupled magnetosphere-ionosphere-atmosphere system, are collectively known as space weather. In the recent past we have experienced that space weather influences the performance and reliability of space- and ground-based technological systems. Although several technological impacts of space weather had been known for some time, it was not before the 1990s that their significance increased dramatically and their severity became apparent. Furthermore, an increasing susceptibility of spacecraft systems to space weather disturbances has been noticed, presumably due to "softer" designs of electronic components, reduction in... more...
Space Weatherby Jean Lilensten
Springer 2007; US$ 219.00Shows the state of the art in Europe on the discipline, Space Weather, which lies at the edge between science and industry. This book reflects such a position, with theoretic papers and applicative papers. It is divided into 5 chapters, and each chapter starts with a short introduction, which shows the coherence of a given domain. more...
Space Weather Study Using Multipoint Techniquesby L.-H. Lyu
Elsevier 2002; US$ 260.00Magnetic storms may cause damage to satellites, radiation hazard to astronauts, disruption of radio communications, and interruption of ground electric power lines. Space weather prediction becomes an important issue to be addressed in the twenty-first century. International Solar Terrestrial Program (ISTP) employs five satellites to probe the solar wind and magnetosphere, providing valuable information for space weather prediction. The Asia-Pacific region is becoming one of the economic centers in the world. The continuous drive for scientific and technological progress in parallel is evidenced by the establishment of many space research organizations in many countries of this area. In Taiwan, the National Space Program Office (NSPO) established... more...
Space Weatherby Volker Bothmer; Ioannis A. Daglis
Springer 2007; US$ 269.00Present an overview on the Physics of Space Weather and its effects on technological and biological systems on the ground and in space. This book opens with an introduction on the subject, followed by a review on the major developments in the field of solar terrestrial relationships leading to its development into the field of space weather. more...
Space Weather Monitoring by Groundbased Meansby Oleg Troshichev; Alexander Janzhura
Springer 2012; US$ 179.00This book demonstrates that the method, based on the ground polar cap magnetic observations is a reliable diagnosis of the solar wind energy coming into the magnetosphere Method for the uninterruptive monitoring of the magnetosphere state (i.e. space weather). It shows that the solar wind energy pumping power, can be described by the PC growth rate, thus, the magnetospheric substorms features are predetermined by the PC dynamics. Furthermore, it goes on to show that the beginning and ending of magnetic storms is predictable. The magnetic storm start only if the solar energy input into the magnetosphere exceeds a certain level and stops when the energy input turns out to be below this level. more...
