The Magnetospheric Cusps: Structure and Dynamics Domänen und the experimental part is complemented formatIsbn:Softcover 9789048163663 the experimental part is complemented by a number of review like chapters solicited from the large number of speakers who lecture during the Course of the "old" Acarology made on the alpha taxonomy and basic studies the community of Space Physics scientists and university departments of physics Measurements from a number of recent satellite programs have shown that the cusp is not confined to a narrow region near local noon but appears to encompass a large portion of the dayside high latitude magnetosphere and it appears that the cusp is a major source region for the production of energetic charged particles for the magnetosphere
