Description
The Symposium on Multipoint Measurements of Magnetosphere Processes held at the 27th Plenary Meeting of COSPAR treated auroral processes, substorm phenomena, the shock and foreshock, the solar wind-magnetosphere interaction, the magnetopause and reconnection, magnetosphere-ionosphere interactions and processes in the inner magnetosphere including both ULF and VLF waves. Observations discussed include those recently obtained from Viking, EXOS-C, Eiscat and the Greenland magnetometer chain as well as those from earlier missions such as IMP-8, Prognoz, ISEE and DE. The results discussed in these papers should help guide the measurement strategies and scientific objectives for the upcoming International Solar Terrestrial Program.
