Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Electrical processes take place in all planetary atmospheres. There is evidence for lightning on Venus, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, it is possible on Mars and Titan, and cosmic rays ionise every atmosphere, leading to charged droplets and particles. Controversy surrounds the role of atmospheric electricity in physical climate processes on Earth; here, a comparative approach is employed to review the role of electrification in the atmospheres of other planets and their moons. This book reviews the theory, and, where available, measurements, of planetary atmospheric electricity, taken to include ion production and ion-aerosol interactions. The conditions necessary for a global atmospheric electric circuit similar to Earth's, and the likelihood of meeting these conditions in other planetary atmospheres, are briefly discussed. Atmospheric electrification is more important at planets receiving little solar radiation, increasing the relative significance of electrical forces. Nucleation onto atmospheric ions has been predicted to affect the evolution and lifetime of haze layers on Titan, Neptune and Triton. For planets closer to Earth, heating from solar radiation dominates atmospheric circulations. Mars may have a global circuit analogous to the terrestrial model, but based on electrical discharges from dust storms, and Titan may have a similar global circuit, based on transfer of charged raindrops. There is an increasing need for direct measurements of planetary atmospheric electrification, in particular on Mars, to assess the risk for future unmanned and manned missions. Theoretical understanding could be increased by cross-disciplinary work to modify and update models and parameterisations initially developed for a specific atmosphere, to make them more broadly applicable to other planetary atmospheres. The possibility of electrical processes in the atmospheres of exoplanets is also discussed. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Electrostatic phenomena, ubiquitous on Earth, also occur on many planetary bodies of the solar system. This book describes what is known about the electrostatic environment on and near the different planetary surfaces in the solar system based on experiments on Earth, as well as what is being learned from instrumentation on space exploration missions of the last few decades. The book presents brief reviews of the basic principles in electrostatics as well as of the fundamentals of space radiation. It then describes the different planetary environments where electrostatic phenomena take place: atmospheres and planetary surfaces. The second edition includes two new chapters on Space Radiation Fundamentals and The Electrostatic Environment of Jupiter. Other updates include updated models of the lunar electrical environment, recent measurements from NASA's Curiosity rovers, recent discoveries of the properties of the Venusian atmosphere and new data on Mercury.The key audience for this research and reference text includes researchers and students in the physical sciences.Key Features: - Brings together contemporary knowledge on the diverse electrostatic phenomena encountered across the solar system- Describes the latest theories and measurements of the electrical properties of the planets- Second edition includes new chapters on space radiation fundamentals, and the electrostatic environment of Jupiter- Updates also include new models of the lunar electrical environment, recent measurements from NASA's Curiosity rovers, recent discoveries of the properties of the Venusian atmosphere and new data on Mercury. …
