  • Abstract
    The electrical highlights of the International Geophysical Year to begin on July 1, 1957, are reviewed. Included under this topic are electrical studies of the ionosphere, current rings far beyond the atmosphere, cosmic rays, the aurora, whistlers, sunspots, and electromagnetic phenomena. Information to be gathered will be so massive that a generation or more will be necessary to reduce and interpret it all.
