Download or read book Multi-Scale Physics in Coronal Heating and Solar Wind Acceleration written by David Burgess and published by Springer. This book was released on 2012-09-16 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the cross-linkages between the kinetic processes and macroscopic phenomena in the solar atmosphere, which are at the heart of our current understanding of the heating of the closed and open corona and the acceleration of the solar wind. The focus lies on novel data, on theoretical models that have observable consequences through remote sensing, and on near-solar and inner-heliosphere observations, such as anticipated by the upcoming Solar Orbiter and Solar Probe missions, which are currently developed by the international community. This volume is aimed at students and researchers active in solar physics and space science. Previously published in Space Science Reviews journal, Vol. 172, Nos. 1-4, 2012.
