Sudden changes in solar wind/interplanetary magnetic field parameters provide excellent opportunities to investigate the complex physical processes governing the magnetosphere's response to solar wind's forcing. This chapter reviews several aspects of dayside magnetosphere interactions: structure and dynamics of dayside boundaries and physics of dayside magnetospheric response to solar wind discontinuities. The aspects also include the roles of solar wind sources on wave generations and dynamic processes in the inner magnetosphere and cold plasmas of ionospheric origin and their role in coupling different regions in geospace. Although there has been significant progress in our understanding of dayside magnetospheric interactions, some outstanding questions remain: the effect of plasmaspheric plume on magnetic reconnection and the consequences for energetic particle populations in the ring current radiation belt regions.
