Statistical Investigation of the Frequency Dependence of the Chorus Source Mechanism of Plasmaspheric Hiss

Shen, Xiao-Chen; Meredith, Nigel P.; Horne, Richard B. +2 more

We use data from eight satellites to statistically examine the role of chorus as a potential source of plasmaspheric hiss. We find that the strong equatorial (|λ_m| < 6°) chorus wave power in the frequency range 50 < f < 200 Hz does not extend to high latitudes in any magnetic local time sector and is unlikely to be the source o…
