Unique concurrent observations of whistler mode hiss, chorus, and triggered emissions
We present a unique 2 h ground-based observation of concurrent magnetospheric hiss, chorus, VLF triggered emissions as well as ELF/VLF signals generated locally by the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility. Eccentricity of observed wave polarization is used as a criteria to identify magnetospheric emissions and estimate their ionospheric exit points. The observations o...
متن کاملWhistler-Langmuir oscillitons and their relation to auroral hiss
A new type of oscilliton (soliton with superimposed spatial oscillations) is described which arises in plasmas if the electron cyclotron frequency e is larger than the electron plasma frequency ωe, which is a typical situation for auroral regions in planetary magnetospheres. Both highfrequency modes of concern, the Langmuir and the whistler wave, are completely decoupled if they propagate para...
متن کاملAn observation linking the origin of plasmaspheric hiss to discrete chorus emissions.
A long-standing problem in the field of space physics has been the origin of plasmaspheric hiss, a naturally occurring electromagnetic wave in the high-density plasmasphere (roughly within 20,000 kilometers of Earth) that is known to remove the high-energy Van Allen Belt electrons that pose a threat to satellites and astronauts. A recent theory tied the origin of plasmaspheric hiss to a seeming...
متن کاملDependence of the Sweep Rate of Whistler-mode Chorus Emissions on the Plasma Density
Whistler-mode chorus consists of intense electromagnetic wave packets generated by a nonlinear mechanism involving wave-particle interactions. Chorus wave packets are discrete frequency-time structures in a frequency range from a few hundreds of Hz to several kHz changing their frequency on a time scale from a few tenths of seconds to a few seconds. The source region of chorus emissions is loca...
متن کاملRay tracing of whistler-mode chorus elements: implications for generation mechanisms of rising and falling tone emissions
Using a well-established magnetospheric verylow-frequency (VLF) ray tracing method, in this work we trace the propagation of individual risingand fallingfrequency elements of VLF chorus from their generation point in the equatorial region of the magnetosphere through to at least one reflection at the lower-hybrid resonance point. Unlike recent work by Bortnik and co-workers, whose emphasis was ...
