The authors report the results of a study of ELF/VLF hiss in the plasmasphere, where they looked at a set of data from the GEOS 1 satellite to do a statistical study of such events. They correlated the appearance and intensity of such whistler wave activity with electron fluxes. They observed correlations between the wave events and electron fluxes, and found in general that electron fluxes were larger than previous work had assumed. In addition the results were consistent with the origin of the hiss coming from equatorial regions, and gaining amplitude on one pass through this region.
