Scientific paper

Electric field components of local plasma waves over the frequency range of 10 Hz to 56 Hz will be measured by the Voyager plasma wave investigation, the first direct assessment of wave-particle interactions and their effects on outer planets. Information may be procured on such planetary dynamical processes as solar wind particle heating at the bow shock, diffusion effects allowing the magnetosheath plasma to populate the magnetospheres, energization phenomena converting thermal plasma of solar wind origin into trapped radiation, and precipitation mechanisms limiting trapped particle populations. Evidence for atmospheric electrical discharges may also be obtained.
