Scientific paper

It is shown that a high-frequency plasma instability can lead to auroral kilometric radiation. In the presence of low-frequency ion-cyclotron turbulence and a high-frequency extraordinary-mode (X-mode) test wave, this instability occurs due to a nonlinear force which originates from the resonant interaction between electrons and modulated electric fields. The growth rate of the X-mode wave, in the form of auroral kilometric radiation, has been calculated and compared with observations.
