| Summary |
Convection and substorms are magnetospheric phenomena used as paradigms for the study of the magnetosphere. This book presents a synthesis of the literature on convection and substorms, an analysis of their interactions, and proposes a model for reconnection. It will be useful for all scientists working in solar-terrestrial physics. |
