Scientific paper

This paper presents a self-consistent theory of paired electrostatic shocks in the polar magnetosphere. It is shown that there exists an electrostatic shock solution associated with the lower hybrid modes moving almost perpendicular to the magnetic field in the auroral plasma containing two distinct types of electrons. The results are consistent with the suggestion that the paired electrostatic shocks observed by Mozer et al. (1977) are associated with lower hybrid waves.
