Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Electrical Conductivity of the Atmosphere and Its Causes' is a seminal scientific treatise that explores the fundamental physical processes governing the electrical properties of the Earth's atmosphere. Written by Nobel Laureate Victor F. Hess, this work provides a comprehensive examination of the ionization of air and the various factors that contribute to atmospheric conductivity. The book details the groundbreaking research into cosmic radiation-a field Hess pioneered-and its critical role in maintaining the electrical state of the environment.Throughout the text, the author investigates the influence of radioactive substances in the Earth's crust and atmosphere, the effects of meteorological conditions on ion mobility, and the complex interactions between terrestrial and extraterrestrial energy sources. Hess presents a rigorous analysis of experimental methods and theoretical frameworks used to measure and understand these phenomena. This work serves as an essential resource for students and researchers in geophysics, meteorology, and physics, offering profound insights into the invisible electrical currents that surround our planet. 'The Electrical Conductivity of the Atmosphere and Its Causes' remains a cornerstone of atmospheric science, marking a pivotal moment in our understanding of the universe's impact on the Earth's gaseous envelope.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
