The interplanetary medium and the earth's magnetosphere
Abstract
The status of such problems as the structure of corpuscular solar radiation, the interaction of this radiation with the magnetosphere, and the electrodynamic link between the magnetosphere and ionosphere through large-scale field-aligned currents is surveyed. The electrodynamic characteristics of the small-scale structures that arise when large-scale magnetospheric convection separates into layers are examined experimentally and theoretically.
