Abstract

A surge of progress in magnetospheric substorm studies is expected by the following three recent developments, (i) the finding of the solar wind-magnetosphere energy coupling function ϵ, (ii) the determination of the Pedersen current distribution over the entire polar region, and (iii) a new understanding of the auroral potential structure. In this paper, the significance of the three developments and the newly emerging model of magnetospheric substorms is described.
