Intense wave/particle event in the auroral ionsphere
Journal Article

· Geophys. Res. Lett.; (United States)
An intense burst of VLF waves, at frequencies just above the local proton gyrofrequency, was observed shortly after each of two intense bursts of field-aligned suprathermal electrons (E<250 eV) by instruments carried on a sounding rockets flown in diffuse aurora. If the two phenomena are associated with each other, the implication is that the electron acceleration occurred nearby, in a relatively small volume.
