Taschenbuch. Condition: 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. This work was reproduced from the original artifact, and remains as true to the original work as possible. Therefore, you may see the original copyright references, library stamps (as most of these works have been housed in our most important libraries around the world), and other notations in the work.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations. Within the United States, you may freely copy and distribute this work, as no entity (individual or corporate) has a copyright on the body of the work.As a reproduction of a historical artifact, this work may contain missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. Scholars believe, and we concur, that this work is important enough to be preserved, reproduced, and made generally available to the public.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. First Edition in English of Die elektrische Leitfähigkeit der Atmosphäre und ihre Ursachen. xviii, 204 pp; 15 figs. Original cloth. Very Good. "When it was decided in January, 1927, to prepare an English edition of the present work, the German edition had already been published some six months. On account of the extraordinarily rapid progress which had been made in certain branches of atmospheric electricity, it was necessary to rewrite two chapters completely: that on ultra-gamma radiation (höhenstrahlung) (§23), and that on the properties and ionisation of the highest layers of the atmosphere (§28). . I hope that the book may prove of interest to English readers, as it is the only general treatise on Atmospheric Ionisation which has so far appeared in the English language" (Author s Preface, p. vii). For Hess s discovery of cosmic radiation, see D. S. B. 6: 354-6. Victor Hess: Nobel Prize, Physics, 1936, (shared with Carl Anderson), "for his discovery of cosmic radiation.".…
