Data from these instruments is  being used to measure and compare the composition of the solar corona,  the nearby interstellar medium, and cosmic-ray sources in the Galaxy,  and to study particle acceleration processes in a variety of  environments. ACE also includes three instruments that monitor solar  wind and energetic particle activity near the inner Lagrangian point,  \"1.5 million kilometers sunward of Earth, and provide continuous,  real-time data to NOAA for use in forecasting space weather. Eleven of  the articles in this volume review scientific progress and outline  questions that ACE will address in solar, space-plasma, and cosmic-ray  physics. Other articles describe the ACE spacecraft, the real-time  solar-wind system, and the instruments used to measure energetic  particle composition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-04-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792355304\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4762-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 663\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312532803724,"sku":"9780792355304","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792355304.jpg?v=1771526140","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792355304","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
