The magnetosphere is the region in which the solar wind interacts
with the Earth's magnetic field, the zone which screens the Earth
from most of the harmful cosmic rays which daily bombard it. The
Aurora Borealis, or Norhun lights, other such phenourena result
from the interaction of particles in the solar wind and the
magnetosphere. Planetary physicists, geophysicists, plasma
astrophysicists, and scientists involved with astronautics all have
a primary interest in the configuration and dynamics of the
magnetosphere, and much research is devoted to convection (the
circulation of solarwind plastma in the magnetiosphere) and
substorms, which are linked to the aurorae and thought to stimulate
convection. In this book, one of the leading scientists in the
field presents a synthesis of current knowledge on convection and
substorms and proposes that the Planetary physicists,

on convection and substorms and proposes that the steady
reconnection model be replaced by a model of multiple tail
reconnection events, in which many mutually interdependent
reconnections occur.
