Summary: |
"A uniquely interdisciplinary focus on the effects of the Earth's radiation belts from both an atmospheric and planetary science point of view. Examines both the causes and effects of particle loss in the magnetosphere from multiple perspectives. Presents interdisciplinary content, helping to bridge the gap between the magnetospheric and atmospheric communities through communication and collaboration. Fills a gap in the current literature by focusing on loss in the radiation belts, which is especially timely based on data from the Van Allen Probes, the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission, and other projects ... Presents a timely review of data from various explorative missions, including the Van Allen Probes, MMS, the completion of four BARREL balloon campaigns, and several current and upcoming CubeSat missions focusing on precipitation losses. This is the first book in the area to include a focus on loss, and not just acceleration and radial transport ..." --Cover page 4. |
