The present 15th volume of the ISSI Space Science Series is devoted
to Auroral Plasma Physics. The aurora is arguably the most
intriguing phenomenon in space plasma physics. Not only is it the
most spectacular manifestation of the Sun-Earth connection chain,
but the underlying plasma processes are expected to be ubiqui- tous
in the plasma universe. Recognizing the enormous progress made over
the last decade in the understanding of the physics of the auroral
acceleration processes, it seemed timely to write a comprehensive
and integrated book on the subject. Re- cent advances concern the
clarification of the nature of the acceleration process of the
electrons that are responsible for the visible aurora, the
recognition of the fundamental role of the large-scale current
systems in organizing the auroral mor- phology, and of the
interplay between particles and electromagnetic fields. The project
began in March 1999, as a natural follow-up of the project on
Magnetospheric Plasma Sources and Losses that resulted in volume 6
of this se- ries, with a planning meeting by a core-group that
coordinated the project. The group consisted of J. E. Borovsky, Los
Alamos National Laboratory; C. W. Carl- son, University of
California, Berkeley; G. Haerendel, Max-Planck-Institut fur ex-
traterrestrische Physik, Garching; B. Hultqvist, Swedish Intitute
ofSpace Physics, H. E. J. Koskinen, Finnish Meteorological
Institute, Helsinki; W. Lotko, Kiruna; Dartmouth College, Hanover,
New Hampshire; K. A. Lynch, University of New Hampshire, Durham and
G. Marklund, Royal Institute ofTechnology, Stockholm. G. Paschmann,
ISSI, Bern, was the project leader.
