Electromagnetic Coupling in the Polar Clefts and Caps
Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Lillehammer, Norway, September 20-24, 1988
The Magnetospheric Cusps: Structure and Dynamics
This collection of papers will address the question "What is the Magnetospheric Cusp?" and what is its role in the coupling of the solar wind to the magnetosphere as well as its role in the processes of particle transport and energization within the magnetosphere. The cusps have traditionally been described as narrow funnel-shaped regions that provide a focus of the Chapman-Ferraro currents that flow on the magnetopause, a boundary between the cavity dominated by the geomagnetic field (i.e., the magnetosphere) and the external region of the interplanetary medium. Measurements from a number of recent satellite programs have shown that the cusp is not confined to a narrow region near local noon but appears to encompass a large portion of the dayside high-latitude magnetosphere and it appears that the cusp is a major source region for the production of energetic charged particles for the magnetosphere. Audience: This book will be of interest to space science research organizations in governments and industries, the community of Space Physics scientists and university departments of physics, astronomy, space physics, and geophysics.
Electric Currents in Geospace and Beyond
Electric currents are fundamental to the structure and dynamics of space plasmas, including our own near-Earth space environment, or “geospace.”This volume takes an integrated approach to the subject of electric currents by incorporating their phenomenology and physics for many regions in one volume. It covers a broad range of topics from the pioneers of electric currents in outer space, to measurement and analysis techniques, and the many types of electric currents. First volume on electric currents in space in over a decade that provides authoritative up-to-date insight on the current status of research Reviews recent advances in observations, simulation, and theory of electric currents Provides comparative overviews of electric currents in the space environments of different astronomical bodies Electric Currents in Geospace and Beyond serves as an excellent reference volume for a broad community of space scientists, astronomers, and astrophysicists who are studying space plasmas in the solar system.

Physics of the Magnetopause
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 90. This volume provides a comprehensive overview of our current observational knowledge and theoretical understanding of the outer boundary of the Earth's magnetic field: the magnetopause. All mass, momentum, and energy transferred from the solar-wind plasma flow into the geomagnetic cavity must cross the magnetopause. The magnetopause itself is closely coupled to the high-latitude ionosphere. For this reason, the volume should be of interest not only to scientists and students concerned with the physics of the magnetopause proper but also to magnetospheric, ionospheric, and upper atmospheric workers in general. Much of the material in the volume is relevant to other planetary magnetopauses and, as an example of an interface between two collisionless plasmas, the Earth's magnetopause is also relevant in solar, interplanetary, cosmic, and laboratory plasma physics.
