New chorus wave properties near the equator from Van Allen Probes wave observations

Abstract The chorus wave properties are evaluated using Van Allen Probes data in the Earth's equatorial magnetosphere. Two distinct modes of lower band chorus are identified: a quasi‐parallel mode and a quasi‐electrostatic mode, whose wave normal direction is close to the resonance cone. Statis...
