The past forty years of space research have seen a substantial
improvement in our understanding of the Earth's magnetosphere and
its coupling with the solar wind and interplanetary magnetic ?eld
(IMF). The magnetospheric str- ture has been mapped and major
processes determining this structure have been de?ned. However, the
picture obtained is too often static. We know how the magnetosphere
forms via the interaction of the solar wind and IMF with the
Earth's magnetic ?eld. We can describe the steady state for various
upstream conditions but do not really understand the dynamic
processes leading from one state to another. The main dif?culty is
that the magnetosphere is a comp- cated system with many time
constants ranging from fractions of a second to days and the system
rarely attains a steady state. Two decades ago, it became clear
that further progress would require multi-point measurements. Since
then, two multi-spacecraft missions have been launched - INTERBALL
in 1995/96 and CLUSTER II in 2000. The objectives of these missions
d- fered but were complementary: While CLUSTER is adapted to
meso-scale processes, INTERBALL observed larger spatial and
temporal scales. However, the number of papers taking advantage of
both missions simul- neously is rather small.
