The geomagnetic field observed on the surface of the earth has been
an important source of information on the dynamic behavior of the
magnetosphere. Because the. magnetosphere and its environment are
filled with plasma in which electric current can easily flow,
dynamic processes that occur in the magnetosphere tend to produce
perturba tions in the geomagnetic field. Geomagnetic data have
therefore pro vided valuable means for sensing the processes taking
place at remote locations, and such basic concepts as the
magnetosphere, solar wind, and trapped radiation were derived in
early, presatellite days from geomagnetic analyses. Because of this
advantage, geomagnetic observations have been widely utilized for
monitoring the overall condition of the magneto sphere. Although
the advent of space vehides has made it possible to observe
magnetospheric processes in situ, supplementary information on the
overall magnetospheric condition is frequently found to be
indispensable for interpreting these observations in the proper
perspec tive. Hence for magnetospheric physicists involved in
various branches of the field it has become a common practice to
employ geomagnetic data as a basic diagnostic tool."
