SOME COMMENTS ON THE IONOSPHERE AND GEOMAGNETISM

Abstract

The broad-scale circulation and dynamics of the magnetosphere is discussed in relation to some problems of the ionosphere. The importance of electric fields and charge separations in the production of various localized features of the magnetosphere seems assured. Many of the fea tures discussed may be instructively interpreted in terms of the Chapman and Ferraro theory.
