Three groups of waves appear to be characteristic of the dayside high-lattitude magnetosphere, in view of AC electric field measurements made by polar-orbiting satellites: (1) ULF/ELF broadband noise, whose region of peak intensity is generally found to be consistent with the latitudinal extension of the cusp (2) VLF hiss, which although present in the cusp region extends outside the established cusp projection and (3) narrow-band ELF emissions, covering frequencies betwen 200 Hz and 1 kHz, on the equatorward side of the cusp. This classification of the waves is independent of the magnetic disturbance level. Attention is given to the manner in which the appearance of the ULF/ELF noise and the narrow-band ELF emissions can be used to localize the solar cusp position. 29 references.
