The main topics of the book are the analysis of reactions in the atmosphere-ionosphere system and the influence of natural and technogenic processes on them. The book also examines a range of related research from an international field. In all, the volume covers the dynamics of atmospheric aerosols, elementary processes in the upper atmosphere and an ionosphere, electromagnetic and optical phenomena in atmosphere, including long-lived and plasma objects and information systems of environment monitoring and prevention of incidents.
