Geomagnetically Induced Currents from the Sun to the Power Grid
An introduction to geomagnetic storms and the hazards they pose at the Earth’s surface Geomagnetic storms are a type of space weather event that can create Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) which, once they reach Earth’s surface, can interfere with power grids and transport infrastructure. Understanding the characteristics and impacts of GICs requires scientific insights from solar physics, magnetospheric physics, aeronomy, and ionospheric physics, as well as geophysics and power engineering. Geomagnetically Induced Currents from the Sun to the Power Grid is a practical introduction for researchers and practitioners that provides tools and techniques from across these disciplines. Volume highlights include: Analysis of causes of geomagnetic storms that create GICs Data and methods used to analyze and forecast GIC hazard GIC impacts on the infrastructure of the bulk power system Analysis techniques used in different areas of GIC research New methods to validate and predict GICs in transmission systems
Gravity Currents
This explanation of the nature of gravity currents (Bouyancy-driven flows in fluids) and their manifestations in the atmosphere, the oceans and the earth sciences, fills a serious gap in the literature. It will also benefit a great many workers in other scientific disciplines, who will be able to apply the principles of gravity currents to their own specialist subject. Much of the work has not previously been published, and the publishers know of no other book with a similar range of information. The author's own work in the development of a variety of laboratory experiments designed to offer an understanding of the physical processes, is made very clear to the reader, illustrating a range o...
