The solar wind, magnetosphere, and ionosphere form a single system driven by the transfer
of energy and momentum from the solar wind to the magnetosphere and ionosphere …

The lower-thermosphere–ionosphere (LTI) system consists of the upper atmosphere and the
lower part of the ionosphere and as such comprises a complex system coupled to both the …

The habitability of the surface of any planet is determined by a complex evolution of its
interior, surface, and atmosphere. The electromagnetic and particle radiation of stars drive …

The present 15th volume of the ISSI Space Science Series is devoted to Auroral Plasma
Physics. The aurora is arguably the most intriguing phenomenon in space plasma physics …

Solar variability is often cast in terms of radiative emission and the associated long-term
climate response; however, growing societal reliance on technology is creating more …

An explicit model for predicting Dst based on solar wind data for the years 1995–1999 gives
a good fit with a prediction efficiency of 88%, a linear correlation coefficient between the Dst …

The physical processes underlying several phenomena of upper-atmospheric storms are
described: magnetospherically driven ion convection and Joule heating and their impact on …

Magnetic storms due to corotating interaction regions (CIRs) have been shown to elicit
different responses in the magnetosphere than those prompted by other types of solar wind …

The Dst index is produced using low‐latitude ground magnetic field measurements and
frequently is used as an estimate of the energy density of the ring current carried mainly by …

This unique, authoritative book introduces and accurately depicts the current state-of-the art
in the field of space storms. Professor Koskinen, renowned expert in the field, takes the basic …
