Energetic Particles and Magnetic Fields in the Earth's Magnetosphere and Interplanetary Space

Abstract

To advance observational knowledge and understanding of: (1) the propagation of energetic particles in the interplanetary medium, (2) the dependence of the intensity of galactic cosmic rays on solar activity and on distance from the Sun, (3) the perturbation of the Earth's inner radiation belt by geomagnetic storms, and (4) the nature of Jupiter's inner radiation belt.
