Scientific paper

Experimental observations and some pertinent theoretical interpretations of wave-particle effects are reviewed as they relate to substorm and storm-time phenomena. Wave-particle interactions in the plasma sheet, current-driven instabilities and anomalous resistivity, and low-altitude auroral zone phenomena are considered. It is concluded that future theory will incorporate the influence of wave-particle interactions on complex field-aligned current systems and on the mapping of potentials around and about the magnetosphere onto the high-latitude ionosphere. Also, attention will be paid to the coupling of the electrojets to a neutral wind, which represents a significant storage element for substorm processes.
