Scientific paper

A stimulated plasma-wave experiment by the Exos-B satellite showed the appearance of echoes of plasma waves with a delay time of several msec. The frequency dependence of the echoes is compared with the observed plasma resonances and the dispersion relation of plasma waves. The propagation mode of the echoes was identified as ESCH waves. The appearance regions were examined with respect to the electron density profiles in the magnetosphere (determined by measuring the frequencies of stimulated plasma resonances). The ESCH echoes are frequently observed in a detached plasma region. Near the plasmapause the appearance of echoes is significantly frequent in regions where the plasma density is rapidly increasing in the plasmasphere due to a strong supply from the ionosphere. Because of their propagation mode and the state of the plasma density profiles in their appearance regions in the magnetosphere, the echoes are inferred to be produced by the reflection of propagating ESCH waves from small-scale density irregularities of environmental plasma.
