Solar wind-magnetosphere coupling; Proceedings of the Chapman Conference, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, Feb. 12-15, 1985

Various papers on the coupling of the solar wind with the earth's magnetosphere are presented. The topics addressed include: geomagnetic indices and statistical methods; solar wind and magnetospheric processes, including solar wind control of the magnetosphere, dayside interaction, and solar wind disturbances and magnetospheric response; the electrodynamics of magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, including electric fields and currents and auroras and auroral precipitation; and solar wind control of the nightside magnetosphere.
