Pioneer Venus Orbiter Observations of Solar Wind Driven Magnetosonic Waves Interacting With the Dayside Venusian Ionosphere

Abstract We use in situ plasma observations made by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter spacecraft to show for the first time that magnetosonic waves can couple the solar wind to the upper ionosphere and deposit energy there. The waves are generated upstream of Venus, are advected into the shock and propagate...
