The Solar Spectrum in the UV, EUV, and X Ranges: Observations, Modelling, and E.ects on the Earth Upper Atmosphere in the Frame of Space Weather

  • Chapter
Solar and Heliospheric Origins of Space Weather Phenomena

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 699))

Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce the way the energetic electromagnetic flux is emitted by the Sun, and we present how it creates an upper partly ionized layer in the Earth atmosphere.
