| Summary: | After a historical review (pre-1980) of study involving the magnetospheric boundary layers and the low-latitude boundary layer, 37 contributions address topics such as the formation of LLBL, its role as a plasma source and sink, and the relationship between the LLBL and the aurora and other ionospheric phenomena. Material is in sections on theory and modeling, high-altitude observations of structure, formation of the LLBL by merging and by collective kinetic effects, wave effects, LLBL as a plasma reservoir, ionospheric observations, and the aurora. A final chapter unites LLBL theory and observations with other information about magnetospheric interaction with the solar wind. There is no subject index.
