The book deals with the most important areas of the Earth's plasma environment - the polar cap boundaries, the discussion focusing on the key role played by the polar cap and its boundaries in magnetospheric-ionospheric science on both the day and night sides. Identification criteria have been compiled for the magnetospheric boundary layers that are of central importance to current research and to applications in 'space weather' activities. The book includes a number of linked themes in solar-terrestrial physics, such as the bow shock, the magnetosheath and the magnetopause; and how...

Summary of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Physical Signatures of Magnetospheric Boundary Layer Processes T A POTEMRA, M I PUDOVKIN, R W SMITH, V M VASYLIUNAS and A EGELAND 451 PREFACE These proceedings are based on the invited talks and selected research reports presented at the NATO Advanced Workshop on "PHYSICAL SIGNATURES OF MAGNETOSPHERIC BOUNDARY LAYER PROCESSES," held at Sundvolden Hotel, Norway, 9.-14.May 1993. The international political and scientific communities have gradually realized that the Earth's environment is more fragile than previously believed. This has led to the...
