Magnetospheric research with advanced techniques [electronic resource] : proceedings of the 9th COSPAR Colloquium held in Beijing, China, 15-19 April, 1996 / edited by R.L. Xu and A.T.Y. Lui.
Launches of several major magnetospheric research satellites (i.e., Polar, Wind, and Interball) set the scene for extensive multi-platform investigations of the Earth's plasma environment in the era of the International Solar-Terrestrial Physics Program. Exciting new results from this Program a...
