The upper subsidiary diffuse resonances were first observed in the ionosphere in the Alouette 2 topside sounder experiment, later by the ISIS 1 satellite, and then by the JIKIKEN (EXOS B) satellite during its electron injection experiment. The frequencies of the subsidiary resonances are just higher than those of the diffuse resonance D{sub n} (n = 1,2,3,4). In their work the authors identify the upper subsidiary diffuse resonance as a hybrid resonance of the diffuse and cyclotron resonances. The corresponding frequencies are f{sub T,D{sub n}} = (f{sub D{sub n}}{sup 2}){sup 1/2}, n = 1,2,3,4{hor ellipsis}, where f{sub T,D{sub n}} is the observed frequency of the nth upper subsidiary diffuse resonance, f{sub D{sub n}} is the frequency of the nth diffuse resonance, and f{sub H} is the electron gyrofrequency.
