Identifying the source region of plasmaspheric hiss [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2015
AbstractThe presence of the plasmaspheric hiss emission around the Earth has been known for more than 50 years, but its origin has remained unknown in terms of source location and mechanism. The hiss, made of whistler mode waves, exists for most of the time in the plasmasphere and is believed to control the radiation belt surrounding the Earth which ...

Substorm dependence of plasmaspheric hiss

Journal of Geophysical Research, 2004
We analyze wave and particle data from the CRRES satellite to determine the variability of plasmaspheric hiss (0.1 < f < 2 kHz) with respect to substorm activity as measured by AE*, defined as the maximum value of the AE index in the previous 3 hours.

Plasmaspheric hiss overview and relation to chorus

Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2009
A brief overview is given of the history of plasmaspheric hiss research, particularly in the context of the recent work by Bortnik et al. (2008) indicating that chorus could be the likely source of plasmaspheric hiss. Previous suggestions given in the literature for this theory are reviewed and then the mechanism itself is outlined, focusing on the ...

Generation of unusually low frequency plasmaspheric hiss [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2014
AbstractIt has been reported from Van Allen Probe observations that plasmaspheric hiss intensification in the outer plasmasphere, associated with a substorm injection on 30 September 2012, occurred with a peak frequency near 100 Hz, well below the typical plasmaspheric hiss frequency range, extending down to ∼20 Hz.

Disappearance of plasmaspheric hiss following interplanetary shock [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2015
AbstractPlasmaspheric hiss is one of the important plasma waves controlling radiation belt dynamics. Its spatiotemporal distribution and generation mechanism are presently the object of active research. We here give the first report on the shock‐induced disappearance of plasmaspheric hiss observed by the Van Allen Probes on 8 October 2013. This special

Global Model of Plasmaspheric Hiss From Multiple Satellite Observations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2018
AbstractWe present a global model of plasmaspheric hiss, using data from eight satellites, extending the coverage and improving the statistics of existing models. We use geomagnetic activity dependent templates to separate plasmaspheric hiss from chorus.

Statistical properties of low‐frequency plasmaspheric hiss

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2017
AbstractPlasmaspheric hiss is an important wave mode for the dynamics of inner terrestrial magnetosphere plasma populations. It acts to scatter high‐energy electrons out of trapped orbits about Earth and into the atmosphere, defining the inner edge of the radiation belts over a range of energies.

Global statistical evidence for chorus as the embryonic source of plasmaspheric hiss [PDF]

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2013
The origin of plasmaspheric hiss, the electromagnetic emission responsible for the gap between the inner and outer radiation belts, has been debated for over four decades. Recently, a new theory proposed that chorus, which is excited in the equatorial region outside the plasmapause, can propagate to low altitudes on the dayside and evolve into ...

Mid-latitude and plasmaspheric hiss: A review

Planetary and Space Science, 1992
Abstract A review of mid-latitude and plasmaspheric hiss-type emissions observed on ground-based stations and in the Earth's magnetosphere is presented. Different approaches to modelling of these emissions are discussed. It is pointed out that mid-latitude hiss emissions are most likely to be generated in the equatorial magnetosphere where the energy
