Download or read book Earth Magnetism written by Wallace H. Campbell and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2001-01-19 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introductory guide to global magnetic field properties, Earth Magnetism addresses, in non-technical prose, many of the frequently asked questions about Earth's magnetic field. Magnetism surrounds and penetrates our Earth in ways basic science courses can rarely address. It affects navigation, communication, and even the growth of crystals. As we observe and experience an 11-year solar maximum, we may witness spectacular satellite-destroying solar storms as they interact with our magnetic field. Written by an acknowledged expert in the field, this book will enrich courses in earth science, atmospheric science, geology, meteorology, geomagnetism, and geophysics. Contains nearly 200 original illustrations and eight pages of full-color plates. * Largely mathematics-free and with a wide breadth of material suitable for general readers * Integrates material from geomagnetism, paleomagnetism, and solar-terrestrial space physics. * Features nearly 200 original illustrations and 4 pages of colour plates

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Topics involved in studies of the Earth's magnetic field and its secular variation range from the intricate observations of geomagnetism, to worldwide studies of archeomagnetism and paleomagnetism, through to the complex mathematics of dynamo theory. Traditionally these different aspects of geomagnetism have in the main been studied and presented in isolation from each other. This text draws together these lines of inquiry into an integrated framework to highlight the interrelationships and thus to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the geomagnetic field.

Download or read book Earth s Magnetosphere written by Wayne Keith and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earth's Magnetosphere: Formed by the Low Latitude Boundary Layer, Second Edition, provides a fully updated overview of both historical and current data related to the magnetosphere and how it is formed. With a focus on experimental data and space missions, the book goes in depth relating space physics to the Earth’s magnetosphere and its interaction with the solar wind. Starting with Newton’s law, this book also examines Maxwell’s equations and subsidiary equations such as continuity, constitutive relations and the Lorentz transformation, Helmholtz’ theorem, and Poynting’s theorem, among other methods for understanding this interaction. This new edition of Earth’s Magnetosphere is updated with information on such topics as 3D reconnection, space weather implications, recent missions such as MMS, ionosphere outflow and coupling, and the inner magnetosphere. With the addition of end-of-chapter problems as well, this book is an excellent foundational reference for geophysicists, space physicists, plasma physicists, and graduate students alike. Offers an historical perspective of early magnetospheric research, combined with progress up to the present Describes observations from various spacecraft in a variety of regions, with explanations and discussions of each Includes chapters on prompt particle acceleration to high energies, plasma transfer event, and the low latitude boundary layer

Book excerpt: The author argues that, after five decades of debate about the interactive of solar wind with the magnetosphere, it is time to get back to basics. Starting with Newton's law, this book also examines Maxwell's equations and subsidiary equations such as continuity, constitutive relations and the Lorentz transformation; Helmholtz' theorem, and Poynting's theorem, among other methods for understanding this interaction. Includes chapters on prompt particle acceleration to high energies, plasma transfer event, and the low latitude boundary layer More than 200 figures illustrate the text Includes a color insert

Download or read book An Analysis of the Earth s Magnetic Field from 1835 to 1965 written by Keith L. McDonald and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is an analysis and description of the earth's magnetic field based on observed data from the time of Gauss to the most recent epochs. An attempt was made to collect all Gauss-Schmidt coefficients of previous investigators and extensive computations were made using selections of these data. Root-mean-square representations of geomagnetic field elements are employed to depict time trends and structural dissymetries at the earth's surface and core-mantle boundary. Our analysis establishes that the magnetic dipole field is being driven destructively to smaller values by fluid motions which transform its magnetic energy into near neighboring modes rather than expend it more directly as joule heat. Concurrent with the continual decrease in field energy in the atmosphere, since 1900 at least, sixth-degree analyses indicate that the mean magnetic-energy density in the outermost layers of the core fluid has been increasing. An associated phenomenon is the continued increase in hemispheric dissymetry, the Southern Hemisphere preponderating. Defining an asymmetry ratio, our analysis infers by extrapolation that the geomagnetic field was sensibly symmetric in the year 1670 A.D. The average rate of westward drift of the geomagnetic pole during the past 130 years is 0.042 degree/year in azimuth angle, corresponding to a polar rotation period of 8.6 thousand years. The motion appears, however, to have slowed somewhat since about 1900. The polar angle shows no progressive motions.
