Springer The Sun and Space Weather: 347 - Astrophysics Guide

The Sun and Space Weather explores the rapidly evolving field of solar physics and solar-terrestrial relations in the context of modern space weather science. This comprehensive volume from Springer's Astrophysics and Space Science Library series assumes readers benefit from foundational knowledge in solar physics, as the Sun serves as the primary driver of all space weather phenomena. With increasing societal dependence on satellites vulnerable to varying space conditions, understanding space weather has become essential. The book covers investigations and efforts in space weather science being conducted globally, providing readers with critical insights into how solar activity impacts technological infrastructure and Earth's environment. Ideal for astronomy students, researchers, and professionals seeking to understand the connections between solar behaviour and terrestrial effects, this work represents a thorough treatment of contemporary space weather knowledge and applications.
