    Scattering of terrestrial kilometric radiation at very high altitudes (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: On a number of occasions during the 3.5-yr operating lifetime of Rae 2, strong terrestrial kilometric radiation has been observed when the spacecraft was over the far side of the moon and when the low-altitude terrestrial magnetosphere was completely obscured from view. If these deep lunar occultation events are used to infer radio source locations, then it is found that the apparent source must sometimes be situated at geocentric distances of 10-40 earth-radii or more. From an analysis of these events, it is shown that they are probably due to propagation effects rather than the actual generation of the emission at such large distances. The kilometric radiation can be generated near the earth at auroral latitudes and subsequently strongly scattered in the magnetosheath and nearby solar wind to produce the large apparent distances. The most likely scatterers are density inhomogeneities in the magnetosheath plasma and ion plasma waves in the magnetosheath and the upstream solar wind.

    Magnetosheath electrostatic turbulence (1979)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-17
    Description: The spectrum of electrostatic wave turbulence in the terrestrial magnetosheath is investigated. Measurements of electric and magnetic field fluctuations in the range 20 Hz to 200 kHz were made by two 16-channel spectrum analyzers on board the IMP 6 satellite. It is found that the electrostatic wave spectra generally consist of three components, which may occur in any combination: a low frequency component which shows a decrease in spectral density with increasing frequency and which is associated with the bow shock wave, a high frequency component identified with electron plasma oscillations and an intermediate frequency component. The minimum wavelength of electrostatic waves is found to be about 0.1 km, with intensity of from 0.01 to 1.0 mV/m. Electric field polarization has been found to be parallel to the local magnetic field direction, implying the presence of longitudinal electrostatic wave modes, electron plasma oscillations and ion sound waves.

    Electrostatic and electromagnetic turbulence associated with the earth's bow shock (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: Simultaneous measurements were made of the electric and magnetic field spectral densities in the earth's bow shock by a plasma wave experiment on the Imp 6 spacecraft. The frequency range of the plasma wave detector was 20 Hz to 200 kHz. Electric fields were measured with high-sensitivity 100-m long dipole antennas and magnetic fields were measured with single-turn loop antennas. Two components are distinguished in the electric field spectrum in the bow shock: one component has a broad peak centered in the region 200-800 Hz, while the other component increases monotonically with decreasing frequency. The magnetic field spectrum has only one component that increases monotonically with decreasing frequency and has an upper cutoff frequency near the local electron gyrofrequency. This magnetic field turbulence is judged to be caused by whistler mode waves. The monotonic component of the electric field spectrum is thought to be the electric field spectrum of these whistler mode waves.

    Correlation of bow shock plasma wave turbulence with solar wind parameters (1976)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The rms field strengths of electrostatic and electromagnetic turbulence in the earth's bow shock, measured in the frequency range 20 Hz to 200 kHz with the Imp 6 satellite, are examined. The largest strengths of electrostatic turbulence occur when the upstream electron-to-proton temperature ratio is large and the proton temperature is small. No substantial correlation is found among the rms field strengths of electrostatic turbulence, the Alfven Mach number, the ratio of particle to magnetic-field pressure, and the shock normal angle. These results indicate that the strength of electrostatic turbulence in the bow shock is determined by the kinetic properties of the solar-wind plasma. The largest strengths for electromagnetic turbulence occur when the upstream particle density is large and when the shock normal angle is closer to 90 deg, supporting a previous conclusion that whistler waves comprise the electromagnetic turbulence in the bow shock.

    Photoelectrons in the upper atmosphere - A formulation incorporating effects of transport (1978)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A technique for solving the problem of photoelectron spatial transport and spectral degradation is presented. The developed model, which allows for a relatively complete description of the relevant transport and collisional physics, can be applied to study processes at either low or high altitude, and may be used to investigate interhemispheric transport. The technique involves dividing the spatial dimension into a set of discrete ordinates and calculating the photoelectron intensity for a specific energy at each point in space and at a set of angle points. The selected range of the energy spectrum was covered completely by a set of energy bins, and the photoelectron intensity in the highest energy bin was calculated first by assuming that the only source term was derived from photoionization. The method is similar to a method used in radiative transfer theory. Spatial and angular redistribution of electrons play a dominant role at heights above 400 km.
