Scientific paper

One theory of the generation of myriametric wavelength range natural radio emissions by the earth's plasmapause advocates the mode conversion of electrostatic waves to electromagnetic radiation by propagation through a radio window. The escaping myriametric radiation is beamed away from the magnetic equatorial plane at an angle which depends on the plasma parameters at the window, perhaps allowing myriametric radiation observed by spacecraft to be used for remote sensing of the plasmapause. A radial profile of cold plasma density is derived from the satellite GEOS 1 by this technique, for the first time. The method may also allow a better identification of electrostatic modes existing in the mixture of hot and cold plasma components at the plasmapause and beyond.
