Abstract. We present a statistical study of the magnetosheath plasma fluctuation spectra at a high-frequency range (with frequencies from 0.01 to 10 Hz). Variations of ion flux value and its direction are considered. The direction of ion flux is characterized by a polar angle – the deviation of the ion flux vector from the Sun–Earth line. We consider 290 Fourier's spectra that can be described by two power laws with a break, i.e., a change of slope. The ion flux fluctuation spectra are shown to have breaks at higher frequencies compared to the polar angle spectra. We compare the frequency of the break with the gyrostructure frequency for a number of cases. We show the polar angle break frequency to usually be smaller than the gyrostructure frequency. The dependencies of spectrum parameters such as the slopes and the break frequency on plasma parameters are also considered.

The excitation of the slow extraordinary and electron whistler modes with frequencies in the vicinity of the electron plasma frequency is investigated for a plasma which is composed of thermal and suprathermal electrons. Ion dynamics are ignored. The suprathermal electrons are assumed to comprise a long, anisotropic tail parallel to the ambient magnetic field. Instability is found to occur via a relativistic, anomalous gyroresonance with the suprathermal electrons, and to excite waves with frequencies above and below the electron plasma frequency. Landau and cyclotron damping due to the thermal background is included in the treatment.

Abstract. Spatial distribution and source region size of chorus waves are important parameters in understanding their generation.In this work, we analyze over 3 years of continuous wave burst mode data from Van Allen Probes and build a data set of rising and falling tone chorus. For the L shell range covered by Van Allen Probes data (3.5 ≤ L ≤ 7), statistical results demonstrate that the sector where rising tones are most likely to be observed is the dayside during geomagnetically quiet and moderate times and the dawnside during active times. Moreover, rising tone chorus waves have a higher occurrence rate near the equatorial plane, while the falling tone chorus waves have a higher possibility to be observed at lower L-shell and higher magnetic latitude. By analyzing the direction of Poynting wave vector, we statistically investigate the chorus source region size along a field line, and compare the results with previous theoretical estimates. Our analysis confirms previous conclusions that both rising tone and falling tone chorus waves are generated near the equatorial plane, and shows that previous theoretical estimates roughly agree with the observation within a factor of two. Our results provide important insights into further understanding of chorus generation.
