Scientific paper

Two dimensional source locations of individual terrestrial kilometric radiation (TKR) events were measured by the Radio Astronomy Explorer-2 (RAE-2) spacecraft in lunar orbit. Although the average source location is above the polar regions near the earth there are a significant number of events which occur at 7 RE from the earth. Furthermore, there is considerable evidence for multiple sources and source motion over the time scale of tens of minutes. Recent TKR mechanism theories which assume that the emission occurs at or near the local electron gyrofrequency would predict generation much closer to the earth's surface. It was suggested that alternative emission mechanisms (other than gyroemission) are required to explain all TKR events.
