Scientific paper

Magnetospheric nonthermal continuum radiation is studied. Observations of plasma waves that support the hypothesis that the magnetosheath/magnetopause is a source of terrestrial myriametric radiation (TMR) are presented and analyzed. The basic characteristics of the liner mode-conversion theory proposed by Jones (1976) are described. The theory is applied to TMR sources at the magnetopause. The relation between upper hybrid waves and the continuum is examined. It is observed that, if the radiation is produced from electrostatic upper hybrid waves by the linear mode-conversion theory, full wave warm plasma computations at wave frequencies 20-50 kHz show that both ordinary and extraordinary electromagnetic wave modes appear. The effects of varying temperature and density gradient on the ordinary and extraordinary electromagnetic wave modes are investigated.
