Scientific paper

Oservations of radiation produced in the vicinity of the earth's bow shock at twice the solar wind electron plasma frequency have been obtained by ISEE-1 at about 20 earth radii and by ISEE-2 at about 200 earth radii from the earth. The source of this electromagnetic radiation is shown to be near the upstream boundary of the foreshock, the surface where the magnetic field lines are tangent to the bow shock. For a source of thickness of 1 earth radius, the emissivity is found to be 0.5-20 x 10 to the -22nd W/cu m per sr. Observations are compared with the predictions of current source models.
