Abstract

Much progress has been made in plasma wave research as a result of the International Magnetospheric Study (IMS) in all areas from ground‐based studies to multiple‐satellite observations. Studies in all the areas have contributed to better understandings of the propagation and generation of magnetospheric plasma waves and the impact the waves have on other magnetospheric phenomena. Plasma wave measurements have been used as both local and remote sensing determinations of plasma parameters. The role of plasma waves at the various magnetospheric boundaries has been extensively studied using the IMS sources. Plasma wave observations during the IMS have tested many existing theories and led to the foundation of many new theories. Several suggestions for future directions of plasma wave research are offered.
