Description
Springer Solar Dynamics And Its Effects On The Heliosphere And Earth 2007 Edition by Daniel Baker B. Klecker S.J. Schwartz R. Schwenn Rudolf von Steiger
This volume helps the reader to understand the ways and means of how dynamical phenomena are generated at the Sun how they travel through the Heliosphere and how they affect Earth. It provides an integrated account of the three principal chains of events all the way from the Sun to Earth: the normal solar wind coronal mass ejections and solar energetic particles.
