TAILIEUCHUNG - Ionospheres Physics, Plasma Physics, and Chemistry Second Edition

The ionosphere is considered to be that region of an atmosphere where significant numbers of free thermal ( | Aímmphcrk and Spatr Scirncr crỉri Ionospheres Physics Plainu Phyvici. and Chemistry Second edition Robert Sc hunk and Andrew Nagy Cambridge g 9780521877060 This page intentionally left blank Ionospheres Physics Plasma Physics and Chemistry Second Edition This combination of text and reference book provides a comprehensive description of the physical plasma and chemical processes controlling the behavior of ionospheres upper atmospheres and exospheres. It describes in detail the relevant processes mechanisms and transport equations that are required to solve fundamental research problems. Our current understanding of the structure chemistry dynamics and energetics of the terrestrial ionosphere is summarized in two chapters while that of other solar system bodies is ouliined in a separate chapter. The final chapter of the book is devoted to relevant in-situ and remote measurement techniques. This second edition incorporates the results model developments and interpretations from the last ten years both in the text and through the addition of new figures and references. In particular it includes new material on neutral atmospheres on the terrestrial ionosphere at low middle and high latitudes and on planetary atmospheres and ionospheres where results from recent space missions have yielded a wealth of new data. Extensive appendices including an additional four for this edition provide information about physical constants mathematical formulas transport coefficients and other important parameters needed for ionospheric calculations. The book forms an extensive and lasting volume for researchers studying ionospheres upper atmospheres aeronomy and plasma physics and is an ideal textbook for graduate-level courses.
