Brief Description
The Earth’s magnetosphere is now recognized to be a system with many components tightly coupled such that many magnetospheric phenomena are associated with a number of processes operating in vastly different time and spatial scales. Much progress has been made in understanding many multiscale features of the Earth’s magnetosphere through the multi-point measurements emphasized during the International Solar Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) era and the ongoing Cluster mission. This symposium intends to highlight achievements made in this aspect based on observational, numerical, and theoretical studies.
