Abstract

Abstract: A Conference on Measurement Techniques for Solar and Space Physics was held on 20–24 April 2015 in Boulder, Colorado, at the National Center for Atmospheric Research Center Green Campus. The present volume collects together the papers from this conference in the categories of particles and fields. This also includes neutral gas techniques as well as low‐energy ionospheric plasmas and their interactions with spacecrafts. Key Points: Describes measurement techniques and technology development needed to advance high priority science in the fields of solar and space physics Provides a survey or reference of techniques for in situ measurement and remote sensing of space plasmas Introduces a special section that encompasses the photons and ground‐based aspects of the above
