A relation between ELF hiss amplitude and plasma density in the outer plasmasphere
Abstract
Simultaneous observations of ELF hiss amplitude and plasma density on Ogo 5 have been investigated. Passes through the region of variable plasma density in the outer plasmasphere have yielded a quantitative relation between the hiss amplitude, the plasma density, and the plasma density corresponding to the threshold of wave detection. It is suggested that this dependence of wave amplitude on plasma density is a source effect and is related to the wave-particle interaction in the outer plasmasphere that gives rise to hiss.
