Deals with the requirements of space physics. This title describes the Earth's plasma environment, followed by a derivation of single particle motions in electromagnetic fields, with applications to the Earth's magnetosphere. It discusses the origin and effects of collisions and conductivities and solar wind-magnetosphere coupling.
Builds on the fluid and kinetic theory of equilibria and waves presented in a companion textbook, "Basic Space Plasma Physics". The book provides a representative selection of the many possible macro- and microinstabilities in a space plasma.
