Joint ground/space observations of transient phenomena associated with the Polar cusp

This thesis concerns the study of solar wind entry into the near-Earth environment via the process of time-varying reconnection. Specifically, the plasma signatures associated with this magnetic flux transfer were investigated in the context of the upstream interplanetary conditions. Thus study is p...
