This solar wind bathes the whole solar system and shapes all planetary environments. The growth of space technology has considerably increased our knowledge of this medium. This 2007 book presents an introduction to the subject, starting with basic principles and including all the latest advances from space exploration and theory. It contains a short introduction to plasma physics and discusses the structure of the solar interior and atmosphere, the production of solar wind and its perturbations. It explains the objects of the Solar System, from dust to comets and planets, and their interaction with the solar wind. The final sections explore the astrophysical point of view. The topics are treated at various levels of difficulty both qualitatively and quantitatively. This book will appeal to graduate students and researchers in earth and atmospheric sciences, and astrophysics. 410 0$aCambridge atmospheric and space science series. 606 $aSolar wind 606 $aCircumstellar matter 606 $aSpace plasmas 607 $aSun 615 0$aSolar wind. 615 0$aCircumstellar matter. 615 0$aSpace plasmas. 676 $a523.580151 700 $aMeyer-Vernet$b Nicole$01046766 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457557603321 996 $aBasics of the solar wind$92473929 997 $aUNINA
