Hydromagnetic Waves in the Magnetosphere and the Ionosphere Here is a fascinating text that integrates topics pertaining to all scales of the MHD waves emphasizing the linkages between the ULF waves below the ionosphere on the ground and magnetospheric MHD waves. It will be most helpful to graduate and post graduate students familiar with advanced calculus who study the science of MHD waves in the magnetosphere and ionosphere. The book deals with Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves observed on the Earth and in Space. The book deals with Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) electromagnetic waves observed on the Earth and in Space. These are so called geomagnetic variations or pulsations. Alfvéns discovery related to the influence of the strong magnetic field on the conducting fluids (magnetohydrodynamics) led to development of the concept that the ULF waves are magnetospheric magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves. MHD waves at their propagation gather information about the magnetosphere ionosphere and the ground. There are two applied aspects based on using the ULF electromagnetic oscillations. The first one is the ground based diagnostics of the magnetosphere. This is an attempt to monitor in the real time the magnetosphere size distance to the last closed field lines distribution of the cold plasma etc. The second one is the deep electromagnetic sounding of the Earth. The basis for these studies is the capability of any electromagnetic wave to penetrate a conductor to a finite depth. The ULF waves can reach the depth of a few hundred kilometers. Thus geophysicists now have a unique tool that can be applied to study the solid Earth as well as its gas plasma shells the ionosphere and magnetosphere.
