Publisher's Synopsis
This volume reviews the state-of-the-art in understanding of solar active phenomena in the areas of key structures producing solar activity; initiation and development of transient activity; non-thermal phenomena in the Sun and the interplanetary medium and also flare prediction, and long-term solar variability forecast.;A comprehensive view of solar activity is provided ranging from the fundamental physics associated with the origin, initiation and development of transient phenomena, to the more practical aspects related to the prediction of solar "weather" and "climate", which affect the solar-terrestrial system. Results from new missions have been presented.
