Scientific paper

A history of the understanding of the sudden accelerations of charged particles noted in plasmas, and the accompanying intrusions of energized plasma into adjacent regions of space, is presented. It is pointed out that studies of the earth's magnetosphere are hampered by the lack of adequate sampling in space and time. Although the feature matching technique of building magnetic and electric field models can help compensate for the sparseness of experimental data, future studies will nonetheless require large numbers of spacecraft placed in carefully coordinated orbits. The notion that the ignition of portions of the auroral shell in association with earth flares results in the heating of ionospheric particles that are then convected inward to form the ring current is considered.
