HF plasma emission detected in the cusp region at ionospheric altitude
HF waves measurements performed in the cusp area on board the altitude orbiting satellite Magion-3 reveal the existence of two types of emission: whistler mode waves and strong wide band emissions, reaching the local electron plasma frequency. The HF emissions restricted to the cusp region, provide...

| Summary: | HF waves measurements performed in the cusp area on board the altitude orbiting satellite Magion-3 reveal the existence of two types of emission: whistler mode waves and strong wide band emissions, reaching the local electron plasma frequency. The HF emissions restricted to the cusp region, provide a spatial picture of the ionospheric region and are good tools to describe the plasma properties both in situ and at remote distance from the satellite. Thermal measurements detected at the topside ionosphere are presented. This paper infers about the mechanism of broadband emission in the cusp region at low altitudes. |
