Scientific paper

The complex and highly non-symmetric internal magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune, coupled with the relatively fast rotation and the unusual inclination of the rotation axes to the orbital planes imply that their magnetospheres are subject to drastic geometrical variations during a rotation period, the nature of which can change significantly during the orbital revolution. The two short stretches of available in situ observations have been interpreted mostly in terms of quasi-equilibrium models developed for other magnetospheres, with some attempted adaptation "by hand" to the changing geometries. Many unresolved questions remain concerning the proper description of the dynamical processes, particularly magnetic topology, magnetotail configuration, and coupling to the ionosphere.
