An interdisciplinary review of recent advances in Alfvén wave research
Alfvén waves are fundamental to the dynamics of space plasmas. Recent advances in our knowledge about Alfvén waves have come from several directions, including new space missions to unexplored heliospheric regions, sophisticated rocket campaigns in the auroral zone, enlarged magnetometer arrays and radar networks, and significant advances in computer modeling.
Alfvén Waves Across Heliophysics: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities is an interdisciplinary collaboration from different space science communities to review recent and current Alfvén wave research.
Volume highlights include:
- Alfvén waves in the solar atmosphere
- Alfvén waves at the giant planets
- Alfvén waves at Mars
- Alfvén waves in moon-magnetosphere systems
- Alfvén waves in geospace
- Alfvén waves in the laboratory
