About the Book

A symposium presenting the scientific results of the Inter-Agency Solar Terrestrial Program (IASTP) was convened by COSPAR commission D at the 31st Plenary meeting in Birmingham, UK, during July 1996. This publication contains 65 of the papers presented at the meeting, and which passed the subsequent review procedure. Papers included describe the various missions and ground-based programs that constitute the IASTP, also called the International Solar Terrestrial Program, or ISTP. These missions include GEOTAIL, INTERBALL, WIND, POLAR and SOHO as well as rocket and ground-based programs. They cover solar wind behaviour, upstream waves and the physics of the bow shock. They discuss processes within the magnetosheath, the magnetopause and its boundary layers, and the polar cusp. The Sun-Earth connection, space weather and magnetospheric dynamics are covered. Exciting new results on the magnetotail, plasma sheet and auroral processes are described and new techniques presented. The IASTP effort represents a close coupling of the space, ground-based and theoretical communities. The symposium, and resulting publication, attempt to reflect that integration.
