Scientific paper

We study emissions of whistler waves observed on the magnetospheric side of the magnetopause. Electric and magnetic field observations from the four Cluster spacecraft are used to determine the wave vectors. The results show that the semi-continuous emissions actually are composed of several individual bursts. Some of the bursts can be seen by two or more satellites while other are just observed by one. The direction of propagation is consistent with waves being generated close to the magnetopause. The wavelength is about 35 km. We compare emission events with spacecraft separations of about hundred or about thousand kilometres to investigate the scalelengths of the wave generation region. The possible association of these waves with reconnection processes is also considered.
