Effect of lower hybrid cavities on core plasma observed by Freja
Sounding rocket experiments in the topside ionosphere have established previously a one-to-one relation between transversely heated ions and packets of lower hybrid waves trapped in localized density depletions (lower hybrid cavities (LHCs)). LHCs were ob</p
A statistical survey of auroral solitary waves and weak double layers .2. Measurement accuracy and ambient plasma density
Solitary electrostatic waves (SWs) were frequently observed by the Viking satellite in the auroral plasma. Previously, Malkki et al. [1993] reported occurrence statistics and voltage data for these structures. In this paper, we make a detailed study of th</p
The occurrence of lower hybrid cavities in the upper ionosphere
Lower hybrid cavities (LHC), i. e., small-scale density depletions coinciding with enhanced lower hybrid waves, are frequent in the upper ionosphere. It is found that they exist in all regions the Freja satellite has scanned, as long as lower hybrid waves</p
