Scientific paper

This paper presents general characteristics of more than 60 counterstreaming ion (CSI) events observed by the ISEE 1 satellite. Often, both oxygen and hydrogen ions at a number of energy levels were observed among the CSIs, but some events showed only one of these ions at one or more energy levels involved. In a number of cases, either only H(+) or O(+) ions at just one energy level were seen counterstreaming, and in a few cases, the CSIs were observed to involve ions of one energy traveling parallel to the magnetic field and ions of another energy traveling simultaneously in the antiparallel direction. Moreover, some of the CSI events correlated well with electric wave activity. It is suggested that, in some CSI events, wave-particle interaction may be involved.
