Scientific paper

Fine structure and polarization of the chorus waves in the Dayside Outer Zone (DOZ) portion of the Earth magnetosphere are studied using GEOTAIL plasma wave and magnetic field data. Dayside chorus is noted to be composed of ~ 0.1 to 0.5 s rising tone emissions called elements. Chorus rising-tone elements are composed of coherent subelements or packets with durations of ~ 0.005 to 0.01 s. The peak amplitudes within a packet can be ~0.2 nT or greater. The subelement or packet amplitudes are at least an order of magnitude larger than previously-estimated chorus amplitudes obtained by power spectral measurements. Chorus waves are detected propagating both almost along the ambient magnetic field, Bo, and at oblique angles near the Gendrin angle. It is experimentally found that chorus is circularly polarized (to first order) independent of the direction of propagation relative to Bo. We demonstrate that this is what one would expect theoretically. There will be important consequences for wave-particle interactions which we will explore in our talk.
