This book is a multi-author treatise on the most outstanding research problems in the field of the aeronomy of the Earth’s atmosphere and ionosphere, encompassing the science covered by Division II of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA). It contains several review articles and detailed papers by leading scientists in the field. The book is organized in five parts: 1) Mesosphere-Lower Thermosphere Dynamics and Chemistry; 2) Vertical Coupling by Upward Propagating Waves; 3) Ionospheric Electrodynamics and Structuring; 4) Thermosphere- Ionosphere Coupling, Dynamics and Trends and 5) Ionosphere-Thermosphere Disturbances and Modeling. The book consolidates the progress achieved in the field in recent years and it serves as a useful reference for graduate students as well as experienced researchers.
The book is recommended for scientists, especially natural physicists, who would like to know more about the field of aeronomy and its advances.
The book presents the comprehensive exposition of the basic processes involved in the aeronomy of the earth’s upper atmosphere.

This volume can be used both as graduate textbook for students wishing to specialize in the field as well as succinct compendium for researchers in the field.
An Introduction to Ionosphere and Magnetosphere
In combination with the first volume, it also is a useful tool for professors who would like to develop a course in atmospheric and space physics.
This book describes the relationship between the atmosphere and the external plasma of Earth in an unconventional manner.
This new volume brings together the many new ideas about the atmosphere and climate system that have emerged, including the complex interplay of the volatile and dust cycles, the atmosphere-surface interactions that connect them over time, ...
A subsequent chapter, at the heart of this work, covers advances in the algorithms used for processing satellite accelerometry and Two-Line Element (TLE) orbit data.
