Contents:

1. Introduction; 2. The Teardrop Magnetosphere; 3. The Bell-Like Magnetosphere; 4. The Viscous Magnetosphere; 5. The Reconnecting Magnetosphere; 6. Correlation of Geomagnetic Activity with the Solar Wind; 7. The Reconnection Substorm; 8. Bursty Magnetopause Reconnection; 9. Bimodal Plasma Sheet Flow; 10. Convection for Northward Interplanetary Field; 11. The Nightside Auroral Oval; 12. The Auroral Substorm; 13. The Geosynchronous Substorm; 14. Coordination of the Geosynchronous and Auroral Substorms; 15. Triggered Substorms; 16. On the Relation between Convection and Substorms.

Summary: Convection and substorms are magnetospheric phenomena used as paradigms for the study of the magnetosphere. This book presents a synthesis of the literature on convection and substorms, an analysis of their interactions, and proposes a model for reconnection. It will be useful for all scientists working in solar-terrestrial physics.
