Scientific paper

Ion heating via a cyclotron resonance process involving waves near the ion gyrofrequency is studied using data from two cusp/cleft crossings of the polar-orbiting DE 1 satellite. Observed cool O(+) distributions and wave intensities from one orbit are used as input to a Monte Carlo simulation. The results show that cyclotron resonance heating by broadband low-frequency waves can cause a major part of the ion heating observed in the cusp/cleft.
