Scientific paper

Viking satellite high-frequency wave receiver data for auroral zones at 1-2 earth radii altitudes exhibit many intense bursts of broadband electrostatic turbulence in the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) generation regions. The broadband noise is primarily observed at the equatorial and polar edges of the source regions of AKR that are characterized by steep gradients of the cold electron density. Theoretical processes which could be invoked to explain the observations are discussed; attention is given to the interpretation in which the low-frequency part of the bursts consists of intense lower hybrid waves and whistler mode waves that are trapped within small-scale enhanced density structures.
