Title: Magnetospheric processes in the plasmapause
Abstract: The current experimental and theoretical status on the existence and importance of the plasmapause as a magnetospheric boundary was the subject of a conference on Fundamental Magnetospheric Processes in the Plasmapause Region, held at Huntsville, Ala., October 25–27, 1983, under the joint sponsorship of the Marshall Space Flight Center and the University of Alabama in Huntsville. Since the last plasmapause conference, in 1974, new spacecraft and new techniques in ground‐based radar measurements are providing an exciting look at the plasmapause and plasmasphere. More than 75 scientists from the United States, France, Belgium, Sweden, Japan, and the United Kingdom attended the 1983 conference. The five major sessions to the conference were: (1) identification, formation, and structure of the plasmapause and its relationship to other magnetospheric boundaries, (2) sources and loss processes of cold and warm plasmas in the plasmapause region, (3) ionospheric trough and its relationship to the plasmapause, (4) hot plasmas in the inner magnetosphere, and (5) wave phenomena in the plasmapause region.
