Extreme Events in Geospace: Origins, Predictability, and Consequences

Extreme Events in Geospace: Origins, Predictability, and Consequences explores the complex, inter-related phenomena of extreme space weather events. Written by representatives from many different fields of space research, the book discusses definitions, historical knowledge, operational issues and modeling. Extremes in radiation ionization, radiation belts and ionospheric irregularities can disrupt technologies and pose danger to human health, so it is important to synthesize information about the consequences, origins and predictability of such events. An important source of current research for geophysicists, space weather scientists and industries impacted by space weather events, the book covers telecommunications, satellite communications and space flight. Helps define extreme eventsDescribes existing modeling capabilities of extreme eventsProvides an overview of current operational capabilities and challenges Offers improved understanding of the ways in which space weather may affect daily life Demonstrates deep connections between astrophysics, heliophysics and space weather applications, including a discussion of extreme space weather events from the past, when our Sun was young and more active than it is now Includes discussions of definition, operational issues, connections between operational issues and science, modeling/prediction and historical aspects INDICE: Introduction: Linking Space Weather Science to Impacts - The View from Earth 1.
