[1] The ionospheric heating facility of the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) has been used extensively in the last 3 years for injection of ELF/VLF waves into the magnetosphere via modulated heating of the overhead auroral electrojet currents. Of particular interest are waves that are observed to be nonlinearly amplified after interaction with hot plasma electrons in the E...

LHR band emissions observed at mid-latitude were investigated using data from the EXOS-C (Ohzora) satellite. A typical feature of the LHR band emissions is a continuous banded structure without burst-like and cut-off features whose center frequency decreases as the satellite moves to higher latitudes. A statistical analysis of the occurrence characteristics of the phenomena showed that midlatit...

An understanding of the Earth’s magnetosphere and the magnetospheric substorm requires an ability to simulate kinetic processes in a global context. To this end we have developed a hybrid code with a number of innovative features: (1) The code uses a general curvilinear coordinate grid enabling it to accommodate disparate size scales. (2) The cold, dense plasma inside the plasmapause, where kin...
