VLF Hiss Generated by Supra-Thermal Electrons
Journal Article
·
· Geophys. Res. Lett.; (United States)
Experiment results are presented which show that electrostatic cyclotron harmonic (Bernstein) waves generated by supra-thermal electrons can decay parametrically into whistler mode waves with very high efficiency. The spectral intensity of the whistler mode waves so produced has a maximum at twice the lower hybrid frequency. It is proposed that this is the dominant process responsible for the generation of VLF hiss and the so-called VLF saucers. (AIP)
