Scientific paper
Nonthermal continuum radiation (NTC) in the L-O electromagnetic mode pervading the magnetospheric cavity was investigated during the International Magnetospheric Study (IMS). A theory for generation involving linear mode-conversion in a density gradient, of upper hybrid (UH) to L-O mode waves, is supported by IMS observations. Close correspondence of NTC with UH waves and with density gradients is confirmed, as is the prediction that the emission occurs in narrow bands, which prompted its renaming as terrestrial myriametric radiation (TMR). The prediction that TMR would be beamed with respect to the magnetic field, is supported by a particularly stable event on GEOS 1. The TMR events observed on IMP 6 and HAWKEYE 1 show that the source regions can extend at least up to 10 deg mag latitude. Support for the linear mode-conversion theory is also derived from the observation by Voyagers 1 and 2 of analogous radiations at Jupiter and Saturn.
