These proceedings are based upon the review lectures, the re- search talks and the accompanying discussion from the NATO Advanced Study Institute on "The Dynamical and Chemical Coupling of the Neutral and Ionized Atmosphere" held at Spatind, Norway April 12-22, 1977. In recent years, in spite of the many subdivisions of atmospher- ic physics it has become clear that a complete understanding of the subject matter requires an interdisciplinary effort of the scien- tists working on a variety of atmospheric phenomena.
