These are so-called geomagnetic variations or pulsations. Alfvén's discovery related to the influence of the strong magnetic field on the conducting fluids (magnetohydrodynamics) led to development of the concept that the ULF-waves are magnetospheric magnetohydrodynamic (MHD)-waves. MHD-waves at their propagation gather information about the magnetosphere, ionosphere, and the ground. There are two applied aspects based on using the ULF electromagnetic oscillations. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe first one is the ground-based diagnostics of the magnetosphere. This is an attempt to monitor in the real time the magnetosphere size, distance to the last closed field-lines, distribution of the cold plasma, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe second one is the deep electromagnetic sounding of the Earth. The basis for these studies is the capability of any electromagnetic wave to penetrate a conductor to a finite depth. The ULF-waves can reach the depth of a few hundred kilometers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThus, geophysicists now have a unique tool that can be applied to study the solid Earth as well as its gas-plasma shells - the ionosphere and magnetosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book integrates topics pertaining to all scales of the MHD-waves, emphasizing the linkages between the ULF-waves below the ionosphere on the ground and magnetospheric MHD-waves. It will be most helpful to graduate and post-graduate students, familiar with advanced calculus, who study the science of MHD-waves in the magnetosphere and ionosphere. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45275042381975,"sku":"9789048176861","price":10900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789048176861.webp?v=1769281720","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/hydromagnetic-waves-in-the-magnetosphere-and-the-ionosphere-9789048176861","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
