DOWNLOAD EBOOK →An in-depth description of the theory and mathematical models behind the application of the global positioning system in geodesy and geodynamics. The contributions by leading experts in the field ensure a continuous flow of ideas and developments. The mathematical models for GPS measurements are developed in the first half of the book, and these are followed by GPS solutions for geodetic applications on local, regional and global scales.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Especially due to the increasing environmental problems there is a need to collect as many data as possible in the upper atmosphere. This book serves as a general multidisciplinary guide and introduction for a more effective use of the large amount of now available data from the Earth's atmosphere. It also shows the problems of the use of large amounts of time series data - for basic science as well as for environmental monitoring - and the related information systems. The book is aimed for scientists and students interested in the Earth's atmosphere which is vital for the understanding of environmental changes in the global system Earth.

A simple convection model is used to estimate the maximum likely elevation of effective temperature for the ion reaction O+ + N2 yields NO(+)+ N. Under extreme conditions the effective temperature can reach 4000 k resulting in a 30-fold increase in the reaction rate. However, the resulting reduction in F-region electron density is only a factor of 4. Under more usual conditions, the reduction is less than a factor of 2. The actual density reduction factor in the daytime trough is observed to vary between 3 and 10 under normal conditions. Therefore, we conclude that under most circumstances, convection-enhanced chemistry contributes very little to the formation of the daytime trough.
