[pdf] Space plasma physics, – Stationary processes Akira Hasegawa, Tetsuya Sato

At last the foundations of space plasma physics are presented both from the fundamental and theoretical viewpoints. Volume 1 – Stationary Processes is an introductory text of plasma physics relevant to the solar and terrestrial environment designed not only as a standard reference for scientists and students involved in space physics research but also as an introduction of space physics to laboratory and fusion plasma physicists. Main topics include: – elementary plasma physics, – small amplitude waves, and – the stationary plasma processes of solar wind, magnetospheric and ionospheric plasmas and the couplings among each other.
