Scientific paper

Whistler-mode chorus waves are receiving increased scientific attention due to their important roles in both acceleration and loss processes of radiation belt electrons. A global survey of whistler-mode chorus waves is performed using filter bank data of wave magnetic field from the THEMIS spacecraft with 5 probes in near-equatorial orbits. Our results confirm earlier analyses of strong dependence of wave amplitudes on geomagnetic activity, confinement of nightside emissions to lower magnetic latitudes, and extension of dayside emissions to higher latitudes. An important new finding is the higher occurrence rate of chorus on the dayside at 7< L
