Abstract. The excitation of lower hybrid waves (LHWs) is a widely discussed mechanism of interaction between plasma species in space, and is one of the unresolved questions of magnetospheric multi-ion plasmas. In this paper we present the morphology, dynamics, and level of LHW activity generated by electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves during the 2-7 May 1998 storm period on the global scale. The LHWs were calculated based on a newly developed self-consistent model (Khazanov et. al., 2002) that couples the system of two kinetic equations: one equation describes the ring current (RC) ion dynamic, and another equation describes the evolution of EMIC waves. It is found that the LHWs are excited by helium ions due to their mass dependent drift in the electric field of EMIC waves. The level of LHW activity is calculated assuming that the induced scattering process is the main saturation mechanism for these waves. The calculated LHWs electric fields are consistent with the observational data.

The electrostatic lower-hybrid wave is shown to decay parametrically into a whistler wave and a resonant ion cyclotron mode or an ion cyclotron quasi-mode or a reactive quasi-mode. The convective threshold powers for these decay instabilities are found to be much larger than presently available pump powers. These decay instabilities, however, are expected to play an important role in the saturation of the parametrically excited short-wavelength lower-hybrid waves having frequency close to ωlh.
