Dusty and Dirty Plasmas, Noise, and Chaos in Space and in the Laboratory

Revised versions of topical papers, tutorials, and scientific contributions, mainly from a URSI workshop held in Tokyo, March 1992, and partly from a URSI-ICPIG-RIKEN symposium held in Tokyo in August 1993. The topics covered are cosmic dusty plasmas; laboratory dusty plasmas; meteorologico-electric environment and EHD; self-organization and turbulence; lightning discharges and laboratory simulation; atmospheric electricity and noise; magnetospheric noise and pulsations; planetary and solar noise and plasmas; galactic noise and plasmas; fluctuations, chaos, reconnection, and acceleration; and ball lightning and microwave discharges.
