Contents:
Introduction to space weather / Daniel N. Baker -- The sun and its restless magnetic field / Manfred Schüssler -- The application of radio diagnostics to the study of the solar drivers of space weather / Alexander Warmuth, Gottfried Mann -- Interplanetary disturbances / Robert F. Wimmer-Schweingruber -- The magnetosphere / Antonius Otto -- Space weather effects in the upper atmosphere : low and middle latitudes / Gerd W. Prölss -- Space weather effects in the upper atmosphere : high latitudes / Kristian Schlegel -- Space weather effects on technology / Eino Valtonen -- Radiation risks from space / Juergen Kiefer.
Summary: The various processes that connect the physics of the Sun with that of the Earths̀ environment has become known as "Space Weather" during recent years, a slogan that has emerged in connection with many other expressions adapted from meteorology, such as solar wind, magnetic clouds or polar rain. This volume is intended as a first graduate-level textbook-style account on the physics of these solar-terrestrial relations and their impact on our natural and technological environment
