R.F. Benson, P.A. Webb, J.L. Green, D.L. Carpenter, V.S. Sonwalkar, H.G. James (auth.), James W. LaBelle Professor, Rudolf A. Treumann Professor (eds.)3540300503, 9783540300502, 9783540332039

The contributions gathered in this volume provide introductions to current problems in geospace electromagnetic radiation, guides to the associated literature and tutorial reviews of the relevant space physics.

Students and scientists working on various aspects of the terrestrial aurora or magnetospheric and near-Earth heliospheric high-frequency waves will find this volume an indispensable companion for their studies.
