This volume is the proceedings of Symposium No.7 "Distribution of Low-Energy Plasma in Earth Space: Theory and Experimental Model", of the Helsinki XXVII COSPAR held in July 1988. In recent years, rapid progress has been made on the theoretical and observational descriptions of the distribution and physics of low-energy plasma in the earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere. Low-energy plasma observations from the GEOS, ISEE, DE, ARCAD, EXOS, VIKING and other spacecraft from various countries have contributed important new observational information on the origin, transport, energization, and loss of low-energy plasma within the ionosphere-magnetosphere system. Sophisticated computer models of the dynamics of low-energy plasmas, such as for polar plasma outflow and the plasmasphere refilling process have made interesting and quantitative predictions of phenomena which may now be within reach of observational testing.
