About the Book

The worldwide community of solar-terrestrial scientists has embarked on an exciting and intellectually rewarding project - to understand quantitatively the linkage from the Sun through the interplanetary medium and into the depths of our surrounding geospace. The variety and complexity of the physical processes involved in these linkages have stood as a challenge to mankind's understanding for centuries. Through a concerted global effort, the Solar-Terrestrial Energy Program (STEP) has begun to use remarkable new observational tools and modelling capabilities to achieve an unprecedented comprehension of our solar-terrestrial system. STEP has been designed to study the flow of energy starting from the Sun, tracking that energy as it progressed through the interplanetary medium into the magnetosphere-ionosphere system and ultimately through the thermosphere and middle atmosphere to regions adjacent to the Earth's surface. This volume contains a selection of articles presented at the first major STEP Symposium on The Initial Results from the STEP Facilities and Theory Campaigns, and represents the state-of-the-art in the comprehension of solar-terrestrial environments.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 Introduction: STEP - past, present and future, G. Rostoker, needs for international scientific coordination, J. Roederer. Part 2 The sun as a source of energy and disturbance: results of the Russian FLARES-22 campaign, V.N. Obridko and E.N. Ishkov; results of the SOLERS-22 project, R.F. Donnelly; understanding solar active phenomena - a phenomenological approach, M.E. Machado et al. Part 3 Energy and mass transfer through the interplanetary medium and the magnetosphere-ionosphere system: co-ordinated ground-based magnetic observations for studies on the response of the magnetosphere and magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling, S. Kokubun; interplanetary-magnetosphere coupling from ISEE-3, W.D. Gonzalez and B.T. Tsurutani; geospace environment display system, S.-I. Akasofu. Part 4 Ionosphere-thermosphere coupling and response to energy and momentum inputs: the mesosphere lower thermosphere coupling study, A.H. Manson et al; ion and sodium sporadic layer results from the 1989 Aresibo ISR, J.D. Mathews et al. Part 5 Middle atmosphere response to forcing from above and below: multiple tropopauses - a major source of middle-atmospheric gravity waves, M.D. Yamanaka and S. Fukao; variable energy input into the middle atmosphere and circulation response, A. Ebel and U. Berger; solar proton events - a source for long-period gravity waves in the polar mesosphere, J. Rottger. Part 6 Solar variability effects in the human environment: global temperature variations and a possible association with solar activity variations, E. Friis-Christensen and K. Lassen; a note on trends in the stratosphere - 1958-1992, K. Labitzke and H. van Loon. Part 7 Informatics: a one-minute geomagnetic data base for STEP - project 6.4, V.O. Papitashvili et al; long-term data based for solar-terrestrial research, M.A. Shea and D.F. Smart; informatics for STEP in Japan, T. Araki.
