Title: Some topics and historical episodes in geomagnetism and aeronomy

Journal Article · · Journal of Geophysical Research
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1029/94JA00102· OSTI ID:50520

The author provides historical perspective on work in the area of geomagnetism and aeronomy. He discusses early ideas discussed in the literature, work by Birkelund on current flows, ideas on the curl-freeness of the geomagnetic fields, studies of auroral records recorded by man, studies of magnetic storms, geomagnetic field measurements, and of late the wealth of satellite information of the magnetosphere and solar wind effects.
