Beschreibung:
ISEE 1 plasma wave data are used to study the broadband ELF-VLF plasma waves at the magnetopause. Enhanced wave intensities are detected at 85 percent of all magnetopause crossings. Wave amplitudes vary from event to event and even with a single event. Wave spectra averaged over many passes, however, are similar at dawn, noon, and dusk local hours. The only parameter correlated with wave intensity is the magnitude of the Z component of the magnetosheath magnetic field. The results place strong constraints on any proposed generation mechanism for the broadband magnetopause boundary layer waves.
