- This message was sent by Prof. Kamide (Y. Kidme?) after
the Fourth International Conference on Substorms (ICS-4)
in Japan:
-
- This year's substorm conference was one of the most
successful yet with over 250 in attendance. All existing
paradigms were discussed at length and during the wrap-up
session it was realized that only the time of the events
within 2 minutes of onset were still seriously under
debate. Since it seems somewhat foolish for a couple of
hundred scientists to travel half way around the world to
argue over two minutes of geomagnetic activity, the
substorm problem was declared solved and no more substorm
conferences are being planned.
