Scientific paper

The nature of several fundamental interplanetary discontinuities (tangential (TD),rotational (RD)and fast and intermediate shocks) will be briefly reviewed. The effects of these structures and their impingement on the magnetosphere will be explored. Some, but not all of the possible effects are: substorm triggering, magnetospheric compression/inflation, initiation of storm recovery phases, and dayside auroras. Examples of each will be shown and the physical processes involved will be discussed.
