Numerical study of ionospheric response to perturbations and interaction with spacecraft instruments
DownloadSpring 2014
This PhD thesis presents numerical studies of the ionosphere dynamics and of the interaction between ionospheric plasma and spacecraft instruments. The main results of my research are the following: A first study presents a simple model to account for magnetic field perturbations in response to...
