Scientific paper

A review is presented of the interaction of the solar wind with the magnetic field of the earth. The material is developed primarily from an observational point of view. The early observations are covered through late 1963, with primary emphasis on the sunward interaction region. The historical review of the early results is discussed in terms of the significant contributions of each satellite observation and in the light of our present concept of the solar wind-geomagnetic field interaction. Subsequent to 1963 the observations tend to overlap such that a strictly historical treatment is not tractable and the material is presented from a phenomenological approach. The daytime and night-time hemispheres are covered separately in terms of the significant and separable phenomena which dominate the structure and dynamics of these two regions. Satellite and deep space probe data are compared with relevant theory. Further observational eflorts needed to improve our understanding of the details of the solar wind-geomagnetic field interaction are also discussed.
