Scientific paper

Antarctic plasmaspheric hiss observed by ISIS satellites is discussed. The ELF hiss observed in the mid and low-latitude ionosphere is plasmaspheric hiss which propagates down to the ionosphere from the equatorially outer plasmasphere bouncing back and forth via lower hybrid resonance reflections between the plasmaspheric hemispheres. The latitudinal variation of the dayside chorus frequency observed by ISIS satellites is close to that of one half of the equatorial electron gyrofrequency. This implies that the dayside chorus in the midlatitude ionosphere is the magnetospheric chorus propagating from the dayside magnetosphere. The nightside chorus frequency shows no significant latitudinal variation. The VLF saucer occurs relatively near, below or above, the satellite in the polar topside ionosphere, and it propagates as whistlers at large wave normal angles to the geomagnetic field lines.
