Investigations of the interplanetary matter between the Sun and the Earth orbit, i.e. its composition, dynamics, and solar influences on it, are summarized. Solar plasma experiments indicate regular periodicity in the onset of high speed particle streams. Particle energy and direction discrimination are measured by half or quarter sphere condensors. Only particles coming from the plane of incidence, traveling at an energy adequate with respect to condensor radius and applied voltage can penetrate the system. Channeltrons are used as detectors. Flux gate and search coil magnetometers are employed. Cosmic ray experiments use similar techniques. Photometer results determine the symmetry plane of the interplanetary dust cloud. Evidence of nonlinear Alfven waves within the corona is mentioned.
