Modulational instability of lower hybrid waves at the magnetopause
The role of lower hybrid waves at the magnetopause is reexamined. It is found that for the maximum observed wave power, the lower hybrid waves are unstable to a modulational instability on the magnetosheath side of the magnetopause. The modulational instability leads to localized field structures , oriented predominantly along the magnetic field. Such patchy lower hybrid turbulence has been obs...

متن کاملUbiquity of Kelvin–Helmholtz waves at Earth's magnetopause
Magnetic reconnection is believed to be the dominant process by which solar wind plasma enters the magnetosphere. However, for periods of northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) reconnection is less likely at the dayside magnetopause, and Kelvin-Helmholtz waves (KHWs) may be important agents for plasma entry and for the excitation of ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves. The relative importanc...
متن کاملExcitation and trapping of lower hybrid waves in striations
The theory of lower hybrid LH waves trapped in striations in warm ionospheric plasma in the three-dimensional case is presented. A specific mechanism of trapping associated with the linear transformation of waves is discussed. It is shown analytically that such trapping can take place in elongated plasma depletions with the frequencies below and above the lower hybrid resonance frequency of the...
متن کاملSaturation of electron cyclotron maser by lower-hybrid waves
We perform a numerical study on the quasilinear relaxation of an electron cyclotron maser on the initially dominant mode. We focus thereby on a situation where the initially dominant modes are quasi-electrostatic lower hybrid (lh) waves, which have not been treated in preceding studies. To this end, we chose 0.2 ≤ ωp/ωBe < 0.5 (ωp: plasma-, ωBe: electron cyclotron frequency) and an initial loss...
