Item description from seller

First Edition (1981) , unstated. Near Fine in a Very Good+ DJ: The Book shows a former owner's rubber-stamped name at the upper corner of the half-title page, which serves as the front free endpaper (the front endpaper may have bee removed, though if so, it has been expertly done) ; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. A handsome, nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a couple of minor, unobtrusive imperfections. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. The DJ shows just a touch of wear to the corner tips; the purple background field of the backstrip has been sun-blanched to a pale blue (the titles thereon remain bold and clearly legible). Remains attractive. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Large 8vo. (9.5 x 6.5 x 1.25 inches). Liberally illustrated with duotone graphs, tables, and figures. Language: English. Weight: 30.2 ounces. Hardback with DJ. This book is an ordered collection of tutorial lectures on the physical processes in the polar upper atmosphere given at the NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on "The Exploration of the Polar Upper Atmosphere" held at Lillehammer, Norway, May 5-16, 1980. The polar cap is an important part of the high latitude atmosphere not only because of circulation and horizontal trans port in the neutral atmosphere and convection in the ionosphere, but also because of its unique energy sources and sinks. In addition, solar wind plasma is led into-the upper atmosphere by the geomagnetic field at the poles, and the polar cap is, as stated by Tutorial Leader Roederer in this volume, "the place where outer space meets earth". The atmosphere at lower latitudes is well-known to the ground-based observer, and the advent of satellite observations was simply the beginning of a new perspective. The exploration of the atmosphere at polar latitudes, however, proceeded in quite the opposite manner, and satellite maps of the polar caps may be compared with a relatively meagre set of ground-based data. Recent efforts to extend the polar observations from the ground have resulted in the need for a review of the physical principles and processes occurring in the polar upper atmosphere. The interdisciplinary nature of these efforts led to the emphasis here on a tutorial program. ; Advanced Study Institutes Series, Series C--Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Vol. 64; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xvi, 498 pages. …
