[PDF] Space weather: the physics behind a slogan Daniel N. Baker (auth.), Klaus Scherer, Horst Fichtner, Bernd Heber, Urs Mall (eds.)

The various processes that connect the physics of the Sun with that of the Earth`s environment has become known as “Space Weather” during recent years, a slogan that has emerged in connection with many other expressions adapted from meteorology, such as solar wind, magnetic clouds or polar rain. This volume is intended as a first graduate-level textbook-style account on the physics of these solar-terrestrial relations and their impact on our natural and technological environment.
