Description
This work was published in 1965 and this is a reproduction edition from a scanned copy of the original work. From the original dust jacket:
An up-to-date, authoritative summary of current experimental and theoretical work on the polar aurora, this volume has been designed to be useful to both professional workers and graduate students in geophysics and space physics. Much of the information collected here can be found at present only by searching through numerous scientific journals, and some of the experimental results appear in print for the first time. In somewhat different form, the papers were presented at a symposium sponsored by the Lockheed Missiles and Space Company in January, 1964.
The papers and authors are:
Morphology of Auroral Displays, C.T. Elvey
Optical Measurements of Auroras, A. Vallance Jones
Interaction of Energetic Charges Particles with the Atmosphere, A. Dalgarno
Balloon Measurements of x-Rays in the Auroral Zone, K.A. Anderson
Precipitation of Energetic Particles into the Atmosphere, B.J. O’Brien
Electromagnetic Measurements of Auroras, R.L. Leadabrand
Coordinated Measurements of Auroras, J.E. Evans
The Present Status of Auroral Theory, J.W. Chamberlain
Summary of Auroral Symposium, Anders Omholt
The papers are illustrated with 76 figures, and references are given to about 300 original papers.
At the time of publication, Martin Walt was a Senior Consulting Scientist at the Lockheed Missiles and Space Company.
