Scientific paper

The near-Earth space environment is a complex, ever-changing system of magnetized plasmas whose behavior has a profound impact upon our technology-dependent society. The recent 2006 Yosemite Workshop examined the interaction of these plasmas from a systems-level perspective, focusing on how the Earth's magnetosphere and ionsphere are physically coupled together into a single global system. The most dynamic behavior of the magnetosphere-ionosphere (MI) system comes ultimately from the Sun. Solar wind pressure confines the Earth's magnetic field to a comet-shaped cavity called the magnetosphere. Solar wind energy input initiates a large-scale convective flow in the magnetosphere, and often triggers geomagnetic storms that dramatically alter the near-Earth plasma environment.
