Scientific paper

The terrestrial foreshock exhibits a wide variety of wave activity, in particular Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) waves observed at frequencies well below the ion cyclotron frequency. Of particular interest is the way in which these waves are generated and subsequently interact with the ion populations in the foreshock, since the interaction of reflected ion beams with the inflowing solar wind is mediated by wave-particle processes. We present observations of ULF foreshock waves based on data from the multi-spacecraft Cluster mission, the first space mission to characterise the spatial variation of plasma properties in 3 dimensions simultaneously. Observations of wave power, frequency and polarisation are presented, in combination with an analysis of propagation directions and velocities in the plasma rest frame using multi-spacecraft techniques. Details of the associated plasma properties are also discussed.
