Hughes, W J

This report focuses on four areas of scientific investigation in which significant progress has been made during the second year of the contract: electrostatic electron cyclotron harmonic emissions observed by CRRES; the implications of cross tail plasma gradients on the structure of auroral zone; ULF waves excited by storm sudden commencements; and probing flux tube plasma content and distribution using the observed frequencies of field line resonances. Each of these topics is made the subject of one section of this report and has or will result in publication of a scientific paper. Here we summarize the main scientific results and refer the reader to one or more of the publications arising out of our research for fuller details. A complete list of publications arising out of this research is contained in the last section of this report.
