Scientific paper

The presence of whistler mode waves in, and upstream from, the bow shock has been well established by observation. Theoretical descriptions of the mode under solar wind conditions have been relatively meagre, however, and it may not be generally appreciated how readily whistler waves generated in the shock could occupy most of the region ahead of the shock most of the time. Graphic descriptions of phase and group velocities and group velocity directions for typical solar wind parameters are presented by using the cold plasma approximation over all appropriate frequencies and directions with respect to the IMF. The relations of whistler phase and group velocities to observations of a quasi-perpendicular shock crossing by ISEE are illustrated.
