Abstract

The Third Solar Wind Conference was convened from March 25 to 29,1974 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds, Pacific Grove, California. The conference consisted of nine sessions dealing with solar abundances; the history and evolution of the solar wind; the structure and dynamics of the solar wind; the structure and dynamics of the solar corona; macroscopic and microscopic properties of the solar wind; cosmic rays as a probe of the solar wind; spatial gradients; stellar winds; and interactions with objects in the solar wind. This paper summarizes the invited and contributed talks presented at the conference.
