For the last two decades the emphasis in magnetospheric physics has been to understand what role the interplanetary magnetic field plays in determining the energy transfer from the solar wind. This emphasis has been justified because of the magnitude of the effect. However, as a result, many of the factors governing geomagnetic activity have been overlooked., This grant will look at several of these important factors including 1) the effects of solar wind dynamic pressure variations upon the magnetosphere, 2) the effects of solar wind electric and magnetic fields upon the magnetosphere, and 3) predicting solar wind parameters from ground observations.

在过去的二十年里，磁层的重点是 物理学一直致力于了解行星际 磁场在决定能量从 太阳风 这种强调是有道理的，因为 影响的大小。 然而，结果是，许多 影响地磁活动的因素一直被忽视， 这笔赠款将着眼于其中几个重要因素 包括1）太阳风动压的影响 磁层的变化，2）太阳风的影响 磁层上的电场和磁场，以及3） 从地面观测预测太阳风参数。
