Scientific paper

The plasma wave instrument on board the Polar spacecraft made numerous passages of the dayside magnetopause and at least one encounter with the magnetosheath during the years 1996 and 1997. Swept-frequency receiver and high resolution waveform data for some of these times is presented. The data indicate the presence of impulsive solitary-like wave structures with strong electric fields both parallel and perpendicular to the magnetic field. These impulsive waves, which have been said to be associated with electron beams, may contribute to significant ion heating in these regions.
