Wiley Dayside Magnetosphere Interactions - Geophysical Monograph 249

Dayside Magnetosphere Interactions explores the fundamental physics and processes governing Earth's dayside magnetosphere, where solar wind energy and momentum transfer occur at the magnetopause. This Geophysical Monograph Series volume 249 from the American Geophysical Union examines how solar wind mass, momentum, and energy enter the magnetosphere and generate observable phenomena measurable on the ground. The book details the mechanisms of energy transfer at the dayside magnetopause, the role of solar wind in creating ultra-low frequency waves, and solar wind-magnetosphere coupling processes. Designed for geophysicists, space scientists, and researchers studying magnetospheric physics, this comprehensive monograph synthesises observational data and theoretical understanding to advance knowledge of dayside magnetospheric interactions and their effects on Earth's space environment.
