The launch of the P78-1 low-altitude satellite containing a high-resolution electron spectrometer and the ISEE spacecraft with a plasma wave experiment have made it possible to perform simultaneous measurements of the waves, the plasma densities, and the precipitating electrons. It was found that nearly monochromatic waves in the range from 10 kHz to 25 kHz were frequently present in the near equatorial regions, their frequencies, narrow bandwidth, and geographic locations being consistent with various ground-based VLF transmitters as the sources. In the energy spectra of the precipitating electrons observed at low altitudes, narrow and at times multiple peaks often appear with central energies that decrease with increasing L shell. The narrow widths suggest that the interactions take place within a restricted range of latitudes which, based on other considerations, are likely equatorial.
