These proceedings are based upon introductory talks, research
reports and discussions from the NATO Advanced Workshop on the
"Morphology and Dynamics of the Polar Cusp," held at Lillehammer,
Norway, 7-12 May, 1984. The upper atmosphere at high latitudes is
called the "Earth's win dow to outer space." Through various
electrodynamic coupling process es as well as through direct
transfer of particles many geophysical effects displayed there are
direct manifestations of phenomena occurring in the deep space. The
high latitude ionosphere will also exert a feedback on the regions
of the magnetosphere and atmosphere to which it is coupled, acting
as a momentum and energy source and sink, and a source of
particles. Of particular interest are the sections of the near
space known as the Polar Cusp. A vast portion of the earth's
magnetic field envelope is electrically connected to these regions.
This geometry results in a spatial mapping of the magnetospheric
pro cesses and a focusing on to the ionosphere. In the Polar Cusps
the solar wind plasma has also direct access to the upper
atmosphere. The polar regions are thus of extreme importance when
it comes to under standing the physical processes in the near space
and their effect on our environment. The Introductory Talks given
at this workshop provided a common background for discussing and
understanding the physics of the Polar Cusp. By this book we will
make the information which thus was provid ed to the participants
of the workshop accessible to a wider audience."
