The Atmosphere and Ionosphere

This book offers reviews of atmospheric and ionospheric science from the 2010 conference "Atmosphere, Ionosphere, Safety," held in Kaliningrad, Russia. Covers the physics of elementary processes, aerosols, ionosphere dynamics, microwave discharges and plasmoids.

The book presents a collection of articles devoted to atmospheric and ionospheric science reported during the Conference Atmosphere, Ionosphere, Safety held in Kaliningrad, Russia in July 2010. It consists of reviews devoted to physics of elementary processes, aerosols, ionosphere dynamics, microwave discharges and plasmoids. Such a wide range of topics presents a comprehensive analysis of this atmospheric science including trends and questions which exist to be solved.

Unique new data in atmospheric physics News in aerosol physics News in plasmoid and ball lightning physics New data in elementary and chemical processes in atmosphere
