Abstract

The polarization of an escaping terrestrial continuum radiation event that occurred on March 2, 1982, was determined using plasma wave measurements from the DE-1 spacecraft. The source of the radiation was determined to be located near the magnetic equator on the nightside of the earth at a radial distance of about 2.8-3.5 earth radii. Two meridional beams were detected, one directed north at an angle of about 20-30 deg with respect to the magnetic equator, and the other directed south at a comparable angle. Polarization measurements indicated that the radiation is right-hand polarized with respect to an outward directed E plane normal in the Northern Hemisphere and left-hand polarized in the Southern Hemisphere.
