Klappentext The third of these texts focuses on the sunspot cycle and its effects on space weather and planetary climates. Zusammenfassung This final book in this series of three heliophysics texts! published in 2010! focuses on long-term variability from the Sun's sunspot cycle and considers the planetary system's evolution from a climatological perspective. With additional online teaching materials! it constitutes both a textbook and a foundational reference for researchers in the Earth and space sciences. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1.
