The authors model the interaction of whistler waves with the quasi-perpendicular bow shock observed on Nov 7, 1977. Using a Monte Carlo technique they are able to construct the resulting electron distribution function. This distribution function is asymmetric, and includes a loss cone which the data supports. This distribution function asymmetry is able to drive instabilites which couple to generate additional whister energy. A significant amount of the whistler energy is observed to originate from the region where the loss cone is observed.
