Scientific paper

Progress was made in four areas: (1) mapping the different regions of the magnetosphere into the ionosphere under varying solar wind conditions; this research is relevant to future USAF operational systems needs in that the environment experienced by a spacecraft differs greatly depending on the region being transited; (2) understanding the convection surge mechanism in the magnetotail; (3) determining the plasma source region for dayside auroral emissions through coordinated satellite imagery and particle data; and (4) creating a new interpretation of dayside auroral transients, involving directly driven ionospheric response to magnetosheath changes.
