Since the first near-Earth solar-wind measurements were returned in the 1960s, solar-wind/magnetosphere coupling has been an active and important area of research. Enormous progress has been made, but there are still many impediments and outstanding issues. Solar-wind/magnetosphere interaction is a foundational aspect of space physics, magnetospheric physics, and space weather.
The goals of this Frontiers Research Topic are
(1) to publish research at the forefront of this important topic,
(2) to assess the state of knowledge,
(3) to point out new directions in research,
(4) to apply new mathematical and data-analysis techniques,
(5) to discuss needs for the future.
Researchers are encouraged to submit original research papers on Solar Wind -- Magnetosphere Interactions to this Frontiers Research Topic. Focused Review articles, Mini-reviews, and Perspective articles on the state of knowledge, plans for the future, new data analysis techniques, etc. are encouraged. Please contact the Guest Editors about ideas for Reviews and Perspectives.
