  • Earth's Core and Lower Mantleby C.A. Jones; Andrew M. Soward; K. Zhang

    CRC Press 2003; US$ 139.95

    This multi-author volume is based on selected papers presented at the 7th SEDI symposium and reflects the new developments in the study of the Earth's deep interior using experimental and observational techniques including seismology, the monitoring of the Earth's rotation, geomagnetism and accurate measurements of the gravity fields together with theoretical skills such as building numerical models and the study of high pressure physics. With contributions from leading authors in the field, this volume provides a useful overview and reference for postgraduates and researchers in this area of geophysics. more...

  • Advanced Space Plasma Physicsby R A Treumann; W Baumjohann

    World Scientific 1997; US$ 101.40

    This book builds on the fluid and kinetic theory of equilibria and waves presented in a companion textbook, Basic Space Plasma Physics (by the same authors), but can also serve as a stand-alone text. It extends the field covered there into the domain of plasma instability and nonlinear theory. The book provides a representative selection of the many possible macro- and microinstabilities in a space plasma, from the Rayleigh?Taylor and Kelvin?Helmholtz to electrostatic and electromagnetic kinetic instabilities. Their quasilinear stabilization and nonlinear evolution and their application to space physics problems are treated. The chapters on nonlinear theory include nonlinear waves, weak turbulence and strong turbulence, all presented from... more...

  • Multiscale Processes in the Earth's Magnetosphereby Jean-Andre Sauvaud

    Springer 2004; US$ 89.95

    The book is devoted to the achievements of two complementary multispacecraft missions ? INTERBALL and CLUSTER II. The advantages of these powerful instruments for magnetospheric investigations are clearly shown together with problems that were or should be overcome in the mission management and data processing and interpretation. The main goal of both missions is the investigation of coupling among different magnetospheric regions and, consequently, the core of the book deals with this topic. Nevertheless, various coupling processes are influenced by upstream conditions or triggered by solar wind or interplanetary magnetic field disturbances. The book also stresses the importance of the solar wind input on magnetospheric processes. The... more...

  • The Magnetospheric Cuspsby Theodore A. Fritz; Shing F. Fung

    Springer 2005; US$ 229.00

    A collection of papers, which addresses the question "What is the Magnetospheric Cusp?" and its role in the coupling of the solar wind to the magnetosphere as well as its role in the processes of particle transport and energization within the magnetosphere. This book is useful to scientists as well as to those working in research organizations. more...

  • Discrete Inverse and State Estimation Problemsby Carl I. Wunsch

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 161.00

    Addressing the problems of making inferences from noisy observations and imperfect theories, this book introduces many inference tools and practical applications. Starting with fundamental algebraic and statistical ideas, it is ideal for graduate students and researchers in oceanography, climate science, and geophysical fluid dynamics. more...

  • Nonlinear Dynamics and Statistical Theories for Basic Geophysical Flowsby Andrew Majda; Xiaoming Wang

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 100.00

    Geophysical fluid dynamics illustrates the rich interplay between mathematical analysis, nonlinear dynamics, statistical theories, qualitative models and numerical simulations. This self-contained introduction will suit a multi-disciplinary audience ranging from beginning graduate students to senior researchers. It is the first book following this approach and contains many recent ideas and results. more...

  • Convection and Substormsby Charles F. Kennel

    Oxford University Press 1996; US$ 170.00

    Convection and substorms are magnetospheric phenomena used as paradigms for the study of the magnetosphere. This book presents a synthesis of the literature on convection and substorms, an analysis of their interactions, and proposes a model for reconnection. It will be useful for all scientists working in solar-terrestrial physics. more...

  • Lectures on Geophysical Fluid Dynamicsby Rick Salmon

    Oxford University Press 1998; US$ 185.00

    This text offers an introduction to several topics in theoretical geophysical fluid dynamics, including the theory of large-scale ocean circulation, geostrophic turbulence, and Hamiltonian fluid dynamics. Each chapter is self-contained and can therefore be studied in isolation. more...

  • Advances in High-Pressure Techniques for Geophysical Applicationsby J. Chen; Y. Wang; Simon Duffy; G. Shen; L.P. Dobrzhinetskaya

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 120.00

    High-pressure mineral physics is a field that is strongly driven by the development of new technology. Fifty years ago, when experimentally achievable pressures were limited to just 25 GPa, little was know about the mineralogy of the Earth's lower mantle. Silicate perovskite, the likely dominant mineral of the deep Earth, was identified only when the high-pressure techniques broke the pressure barrier of 25 GPa in 1970s. However, as the maximum achievable pressure reached beyond one Megabar (100 GPa) and even to the pressure of Earth?s core on minute samples, new discoveries increasingly were fostered by the development of new analytical techniques and improvements in sensitivity and precision of existing techniques. The book consists of... more...

  • Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysicsby Alex A. Kaufman; A.L. Levshin

    Elsevier 2005; US$ 205.00

    This monograph is the last volume in the series 'Acoustic and Elastic Wave Fields in Geophysics'. The previous two volumes published by Elsevier (2000, 2002) dealt mostly with wave propagation in liquid media. The third volume is dedicated to propagation of plane, spherical and cylindrical elastic waves in different media including isotropic and transversely isotropic solids, liquid-solid models, and media with cylindrical inclusions (boreholes). * Prevalence of physical reasoning on formal mathematical derivations * Readers do not need to have a strong background in mathematics and mathematical physics * Detailed analysis of wave phenomena in various types of elastic and liquid-elastic media more...
