Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling in the Solar System
Charles R. Chappell (Ed.)
Over a half century of exploration of the Earth’s space environment, it has become evident that the interaction between the ionosphere and the magnetosphere plays a dominant role in the evolution and dynamics of magnetospheric plasmas and fields. Interestingly, it was recently discovered that this same interaction is of fundamental importance at other planets and moons throughout the solar system. Based on papers presented at an interdisciplinary AGU Chapman Conference at Yosemite National Park in February 2014, this volume provides an intellectual and visual journey through our exploration and discovery of the paradigm-changing role that the ionosphere plays in determining ...

Topics covered in this volume include:
- Ionosphere as a source of magnetospheric plasma
- Effects of the low energy ionospheric plasma on the stability and creation of the more energetic plasmas
- The unified global modeling of the ionosphere and magnetosphere at the Earth and other planets
- New knowledge of these coupled interactions for heliophysicists and planetary scientists, with a cross-disciplinary approach involving advanced measurement and modeling techniques
Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Coupling in the Solar System is a valuable resource for researchers in the fields of space and planetary science, atmospheric science, space physics, astronomy, and geophysics.
