Heliophysics: space storms and radiation : causes and effects

The second in this series of three heliophysics texts, integrating the many aspects of space storms and their energetic radiation. The second in this series of three heliophysics texts, first published in 2010, integrates the many aspects of space storms and the energetic radiation associated with them - from causes on the Sun to effects in planetary environments. With supporting onlineresources, it can be used for course teaching or as a research reference.

Heliophysics is a fast-developing scientific discipline thatintegrates studies of the Sun's variability, the surrounding heliosphere, andthe environment and climate of planets. The Sun is a magnetically variable star and for planets with intrinsic magnetic fields, planets with atmospheres, or planets like Earth with both, there are profound consequences. This 2010 volume, the second in this series of three heliophysics texts, integrates the many aspects of space storms and the energetic radiation associated with them - from causes on the Sun to effects in planetary environments. It reviews the physical processes in solar flares and coronal mass ejections, interplanetary shocks, and particle acceleration and transport, and considers many space weatherresponses in geospace. In addition to its utility as a textbook, it also constitutes a foundational reference for researchers in fields from heliophysics to climate science.

"The 14-chapter, comprehensive, multiauthored volume provides insightful introductions to space storms and radiation; energetic particle transport and detection; solar eruptions; flares, jets and coronal mass ejections; shocks; trapped particles; and near-Earth space environment responses." T. Eastman, formerly, University of Maryland "...provides insightful introductions to space storms and radiation; energetic particle transport and detection; solar eruptions, flares, jets, and coronal mass ejections; shocks; trapped particles; and near-Earth space environment responses."
