Scientific paper

In this paper, Cairns and Melrose's (1985) theory for the second harmonic of the plasma frequency f(p), i,e, 2f(p) radiation, is extended into a detailed semiquantitative theory for the 2f(p) radiation observed upstream from the earth's bow shock. It is shown that the 2f(p) radiation grows by the process L + L going to T + S (where L, S, and T denote Langmuir, ion acoustic, and transverse electromagnetic waves, respectively), proceeding in two 3-wave steps in the two wings of the foreshock. The theory developed here is consistent with all the available wave data.
