This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 601 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following listing represents a survey and a short description of 'Earth Observing Mis sions' in alphabetical order. The listing in Part A considers completed-, operational-as well as planned missions on an international scale (Earth observations from space know no na tional boundaries). A look into past activities is important for reasons of heritage, context and of perspective. The document is intended for all who want to keep track of missions and sensors in the fast -growing field of Earth observations. There cannot be any claim to com pleteness, although a considerable effort was made to collect and integrate all known mis sions and sensors into this book. Earth observation by remote sensing changes our view and perception of the world. We be gin to realize the global character of remote sensing, its multidimensional and complemen tary nature, its vast potential to many disciplines, its importance to mankind as a whole. Re mote sensing permits for the first time in history a total system view of the Earth. The view from space toward Earth has brought about sweeping revisions in the Earth sciences, in par ticular in such fields as meteorology, oceanology, hydrology, geology, geography, forestry, agriculture, geodynamics, solar-terrestrial interactions, and many others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on the Variations of the Magnetic Intensity: Observed at Different Points of the Earth's Surface Report on the Variations of the Magnetic Intensity observed at different Points of the Earths Surface. By Major Edward Sabine, R.A., F.R.S, [With Plates.] It has been justly remarked by M.de Humboldt, "that the phaenomena of the earth's magnetism, in its three forms of variation, dip, and intensity, have of late years been examined with great care, in the most different zones, by the united efforts of many travellers; and that there is scarcely any branch of the physical knowledge of the earth in which in so small a number of years, so much has been gained towards an acquaintance with its laws, though not perhaps with its causes." (Ann. der Physik, vol. xv. p.320) Be; it here remarked, that it is to the example and the writings of this illustrious philosopher that the accelerated progress in this, as in so many other branches of physical science, is eminently due. His writings exhibit, in the most pleasing manner, the delightful, the never-failing interest which such pursuits afford, awaken thereby a taste for them in those who were previously unconscious of its existence, and stimulate its exercise in all. It is in this respect that M. de Humboldt has been not only a great promoter of science, but a moral benefactor to many; for it is the privilege of such pursuits that tedious hours are little known to the mind that engages in them, and the enjoyment which they yield is unimpaired by advancing years. M. de Humboldt's remark is particularly true in regard to the magnetic intensity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Magnetic Fields in the Solar System written by Hermann Lühr and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses and reviews many of the still little understood questions related to the processes underlying planetary magnetic fields and their interaction with the solar wind. With focus on research carried out within the German Priority Program ”PlanetMag”, it also provides an overview of the most recent research in the field. Magnetic fields play an important role in making a planet habitable by protecting the environment from the solar wind. Without the geomagnetic field, for example, life on Earth as we know it would not be possible. And results from recent space missions to Mars and Venus strongly indicate that planetary magnetic fields play a vital role in preventing atmospheric erosion by the solar wind. However, very little is known about the underlying interaction between the solar wind and a planet’s magnetic field. The book takes a synergistic interdisciplinary approach that combines newly developed tools for data acquisition and analysis, computer simulations of planetary interiors and dynamos, models of solar wind interaction, measurement of ancient terrestrial rocks and meteorites, and laboratory investigations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magnetism is one of the basic properties of matter. Mankind has trav elled a long road in discovering and utilizing magnetism, and in this respect the ancient Chinese people have made outstanding contribu tions. In the book 'Lu's Spring and Autumn', written near the end of the Warring States Period, i. e. in the third century B. C. , there is a statement on the "attraction of iron by lodestones". So at that time it was known that magnets can attract ferromagnetic material. At the be ginning ofthe first century A. D. , viz. in the early years ofthe East Hang Dynasty, the famous scholar Wang Chong wrote in his masterpiece 'Len Hen' that the handle of a magnetic dipper pointed to the south. It was thus discovered at the time that magnets can point to the poles of the geomagnetic field. At the beginning of the twelfth century, during the reign of Emperor Hui of the Sung Dynasty, in the two books written by Zhu Yo and Xu Jin, respectively, there are descriptions of the com pass used in navigation. This tells us that the application of compasses was rather widespread at that time. The distinguished scientist Sen Go (1031-1085) discovered the declination of the terrestrial magnetic field. This is four hundred and more years earlier than its discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1492 during his voyage across the Atlantic Ocean. Such facts as these manifest the important contributions of ancient China to global civilization.
