physics of ring currents at other strongly magnetized planets in

book is motivated by the growing interest in space weather
prediction. It describes the most important space weather
effects driven by inner magnetospheric energetic particles and
present capabilities for their nowcast and forecast. It
provides an overview of existing state-of-the-art numerical
models with links for open-source code downloads and offers
guidance on how to develop numerical models within the context
of the present-day understanding.
