The Dynamic Magnetosphere
Despite the plethora of monographs published in recent years, few cover recent progress in magnetospheric physics in broad areas of research. While a topical focus is important to in-depth views at a problem, a broad overview of our field is also needed.

IAGA Special Sopron Book Series Volume 3 Series Editor Bengt Hultqvist The Swedish Institute of Space Physics, Kiruna, Sweden The International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy is one of the eight Associations of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). IAGA’s Mission The overall purpose of IAGA is set out in the first statute of the Association: • • • •
to promote studies of magnetism and aeronomy of the Earth and other bodies of the solar system, and of the interplanetary medium and its interaction with these bodies, where such studies have international interest; to encourage research in these subjects by individual countries, institutions or persons and to facilitate its international coordination; to provide an opportunity on an international basis for discussion and publication of the results of the researches; and to promote appropriate standardizations of observational programs, data acquisition systems, data analysis and publication.

Cover illustration: In a Space Weather Modeling Framework (SWMF) simulation of the Halloween 2003 space storms, the magnetosphere responds to a CME associated with the X-17.2 flare on October 29. The visualization shows the last closed magnetic field lines, color-coded with pressure. The gray sphere is located at 3 Earth radii
