It is pointed out that magnetospheric substorms have been referred to as the 'fundamental instability' of the magnetosphere which results from coupling between the solar wind and the earth's magnetic and plasma environment. The present paper is mainly concerned with magnetic observations made by the midlatitude Air Force Geophysics Laboratory (AFGL) Magnetometer Network, the GOES 2 and 3 synchronous satellites, and the near-geosynchronous P78-2 Spacecraft Charging at High Altitudes (SCATHA) satellite. Ground-based Pi 2 and magnetic bay observations are used to detect a clear substorm onset. An idealized model of the substorm current system is utilized to relate the observations to the spatial location and temporal development of the substorm disturbance near synchronous orbit.
