Plasma Waves: Interplanetary Space, Plasma Waves: Planetary Atmospheres, Plasma Waves: Solar Wind

Scientific paper

An overview is given of spacecraft observations of plasma waves in the solar system. In situ measurements of plasma phenomena have now been obtained at all of the planets except Mercury and Pluto, and in the interplanetary medium at heliocentric radial distances ranging from 0.29 to 58 AU. To illustrate the range of phenomena involved, the author discusses plasma waves in three regions of physical interest: (1) planetary radiation belts, (2) planetary auroral acceleration regions, and (3) the solar wind. In each region he describes examples of plasma waves that are of some importance, either due to the role they play in determining the physical properties of the plasma, or to the unique mechanism involved in their generation.
