Addressing the entire atmosphere-ionosphere system, this book bridges the traditional disciplines of meteorology and aeronomy by focusing on key coupling and connection processes from the planetary surface to the exosphere. Written with a strong interdisciplinary focus, it provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles of the dynamics, energetics, and chemistry of Earth's entire atmosphere-ionosphere system. Introductory chapters cover prerequisite background in mathematics, physics and chemistry, with later chapters deepening the study of atmospheric regions and their interactions. Including the latest research advancements on planetary atmospheres and ionospheres, this book will be of interest to students and researchers from atmospheric, space, and planetary science who seek to deepen their knowledge of the whole atmosphere-ionosphere system on Earth and other planets. Each chapter includes a set of problems designed to test comprehension and motivate further study.
