Several unconventional ideas on the formation and                          maintenance of the low latitude boundary layer (LLBL) of the                    terrestrial magnetosphere are proposed.  It is proposed that                    the solar wind plasma flowing tailward on the closed field                      lines in the LLBL maintains the magnetotail.  Field-aligned ion                 beams of the ionospheric origin are identified as region o                      currents.  The evidence of the region o currents is sought in                   Viking satellite data and MAGSAT data.  For the study of                        auroral arc, sonderstrom radar facility will be used to obtain                  improved measurements of field-aligned election and ion flows.                  A campaign is planned in March 1989 in conjunction with auroral                 imagers.  A model for the auroral arc is proposed and the data                  obtained will allow the testing of this theoretical model.                      This project will utilize observational sets of data from                       various satellites (MAGSAT, Hilat, DMSP, ISEE 3) and radar                      observations to test the theoretical models of LLBL and auroral                 arc.
