Download or read book Photogaphing the Aurora Borealis written by Andy Long and published by Firrst Light Photography, LLC. This book was released on 2014-01-06 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous years back while leading an Alaska brown bears workshop, Andy saw some books of aurora borealis images. He was hooked and a winter trip to Alaska to photograph the incredible beauty presented on the pages of those books was soon to follow. Ever since his initial scouting trip he has been leading workshops yearly to the far north to let others see, experience and photograph this amazing phenomenon. While his true love is wildlife, Andy will tell you his favorite thing to see and photograph is the northern lights. His passion of teaching others about the aurora can now reach more people through this book. Come take a journey to see some beautiful shots of the aurora and learn how you can take shots like this when (not if) offered the chance to visit an area where the sky comes alive with color. When you want to experience this, visit Andy’s website and sign up for a northern lights workshop and let him take you to the best spots possible and personally teach you.

Download or read book Northern Lights written by George Bryson and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electric green pierced by neon blue, shocking pink spinning into violent red, and shimmering purple sidled up against deep indigo: never before have you seen such high-octane colors in the sky, and never before has a book shown the northern lights-aurora borealis-in such vivid color. In Northern Lights, photographers Calvin Hall and Daryl Pederson bring to print nearly a hundred photographs of this amazing natural phenomenon, shot from remote locations all over Alaska and using no filters or digital enhancement. Just as fascinating are the legends, myths, and science surrounding this polar phenomenon, described by George Bryson. As 2002 marks the peak viewing time of the northern lights in an eleven-year cycle, this book brings the elusive magic of the northern lights to stargazers near and far.

Download or read book Aurora written by Neil Bone and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-06-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book addresses a gap in the literature, offering an explanation of the aurora's causes, how the occurrence of major events may now be predicted, and how amateur observers can go about recording displays. This is the first serious book about aurora written for practical but non-professional observers. It provides a concise accessible description of the various auroral forms and how to record them, illustrated with color images of recent displays. It contains details of 'Space Weather' forecasting websites, how to interpret and use the information given on these, and how to anticipate auroral activity.
Download or read book Aurora written by A.V. Jones and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades auroral science has developed from a somewhat mysterious and imprecise specialty into a discipline central in the study of the ionosphere and magnetosphere. The investigation of aurora unites scientists with very different backgrounds and interests so that it is difficult to write a self-contained account of the field in a book of reasonable length. In this work I have attempted to include those aspects of theory which I have found valuable in predicting the effects on the atmosphere of auroral particle precipitation. In addition I have attempted to describe the techniques of observation with particular emphasis on optical methods which have been useful. While the aeronomy of aurora has been regarded as central, the mechanisms by which particles are accelerated and precipitated into the atmosphere is of no less interest. This aspect of the subject has however been treated in a briefer fashion since it is a part of the immense and rapidly developing field of magnetospheric science. Generally I have attempted to provide a coherent introduction to auroral science with an emphasis on relatively simple physical interpretations and models. References are given to enable the reader to find more extensive or rigorous discussions of particular topics. A fairly complete, quantitative atlas of the auroral spectrum is included.

Download or read book Study of the Equatorward Edge of the Auroral Oval from Satellite Observations written by B. S. Dandekar and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The auroral ovals in the northern and southern hemispheres observed by the optical instruments aboard the DMSP satellites are studied on a statistical basis in terms of the temporal, spatial, and magnetic activity dependence of the equatorward edge of the diffuse (continuous) aurora. In the nightside (18-08 CGT), the equatorward edges of the auroral ovals are located predominantly in the latitude range 61 deg - 69 deg CGL. They show strong dependence on the levels of magnetic activity. Of the indices Kp, AE, Dst, and Q, the Q index is correlated best with the position of the equatorward edge of the diffuse aurora. Assuming that the auroral oval is approximately circular in a CG coordinate system, the dependence of the radius of the auroral oval on magnetic activity is determined. The radius and the center of the auroral circle changes with variation in magnetic activity. The ovals of the northern and southern hemispheres consistently show an asymmetry. On the nightside, the oval in the southern hemisphere is located about 1 deg closer to the equator than the oval in the northern hemisphere.

Download or read book Physics of the Aurora and Airglow written by Joseph W. Chamberlain and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-06-03 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Geophysics Series, Volume 2: Physics of the Aurora and Airglow explores certain physical aspects of aurora and airglow. This volume is composed of 13 chapters and begins with surveys of the theory and spectroscopic and photometric analyses of radiation from the upper atmosphere. The subsequent chapters treat the geographic distribution of aurora and its physical processes in the atmosphere. Other chapters examine the theory of hydrogen emission in aurora, resonance scattering by atmospheric sodium, the excitation of the oxygen red lines in the airglow, and an atlas of the auroral spectrum. A chapter focuses on the analysis of twilight observations for emission heights. The concluding chapters discuss the theory of day airglow, as well as the spectral photometry and excitation of the nightglow. This book is of value to geophysicists, theoreticians, and scientists of the allied fields of geophysics.
