Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book provides a comprehensive account of magnetoseismology - the tool to monitor space weather. Written by researcher on the forefront of this field, it conveys the physics behind the phenomena and the methods to detect and investigate them, the relevance to communication, power supply and many other critical systems. In addition, it provides computational codes for analysis and evaluation. |
