Experimental study of electronic electrostatic waves detected in the terrestrial magnetosphere by the satellite GEOS 2

Description

After reviewing the general characteristics of electrostator waves a brief resume is given of the observations made up to the present moment. The GEOS satellite and the ''wave'' experiment are described, as well as the method and results of the statistical study of the strong electrostatic wave observed. Creating mechanisms of diffuse auroras are discussed. In a later chapter a new method of using the relaxation probe is presented as well as the results it gives on the mode of propagation of waves in the neighbourhood of the FUH frequency

Abstract (French)

Apres un rappel des caracteristiques generales des ondes electrostatiques on resume brievement les observations effectuees, jusqu'a present. On presente le satellite GEOS et l'experience ''onde'' ainsi que la methode et les resultats de l'etude statistique de l'onde electrostatique la plus forte observee. On discute des mecanismes de creation des aurores diffuses. Dans un dernier chapitre on presente une nouvelle methode d'utilisation du sondeur a relaxation et les resultats qu'elle apporte sur le mode de propagation des ondes au voisinage de la frequence FUH
