Abstract
Due to the great number of papers on magnetospheric substorms published in the recent years I will give only a short account of the main progress realized since the publication of Akasofu’s (1968) book. The purpose of Figure 1 is to place the sub-storm phenomena in the general frame of the solar wind magnetosphere interaction. When this interaction increases as a consequence of a southward interplanetary field, energy is stored in the magnetosphere (substorm growth phase). Beyond a certain limit the resultant configuration is unstable and the energy stored is suddenly released producing the substorm expansion phase. A recovery phase ends this explosive part of the substorm; the process repeats as long as the strong interaction is maintained. A reversal of the interplanetary magnetic field northward switches off the strong interaction.
