Determining the Wave Vector Direction of Equatorial Fast Magnetosonic Waves

Determining the Wave Vector Direction of Equatorial Fast Magnetosonic Waves

Abstract We perform polarization analysis of the equatorial fast magnetosonic waves electric field over a 20‐min interval of Van Allen Probes A waveform receiver burst mode data. The wave power peaks at harmonics of the proton cyclotron frequency indicating that the spacecraft is near or in the sour...
