Beschreibung:These proceedings are based upon introductory talks, research reports and discussions at the NATO Advanced Workshop on ELECTROMAGNETIC COUPLING IN THE POLAR CLEFTS AND CAPS, held at Lillehammer, Norway, 20-24th September 1988. By this book we will make the information which was provided to the participants of the workshop, accessible to a wider audience. Electromagnetic processes governing particle, momentum, and energy transfer from the solar wind via the magnetosphere and into the earth's upper atmosphere are the main topics of solar-terrestrial research. Due to the peculiar magnetic field configuration in the magnetosphere, resulting from the interaction with the shocked solar wind, the sunward-side boundary is mapped along magnetic field lines into a thin, arc-like band of the days ide polar ionosphere at the boundary of the polar cap; i.e. the ionospheric cleft region. The polar cusp is a separate, more limited region near magnetic noon, as defined by electron and proton precipitation detected from polar orbiting satellites. The basic physics of the different coupling modes at the dayside magnetopause is a matter of great controversy. This is an important problem to solve, also because similar boundaries exist in stellar objects throughout the Universe. It is expected that ground-based remote sensing techniques, with their ability to continuously monitoring the temporal and spatial variations of the ionospheric signatures, will have a great impact on this problem, in particular when combined with in situ measurements
