eng Abstract:
The four spacecraft of the Cluster mission are collecting a unique data set. We use data measured between 2002 and 2009. These data are unique not only by their quantity but also because the spacecraft changed their orbits during their operational phase and therefore we have data from a large area around the Earth. We focus our analysis on observations of equatorial noise (EN) which is an intense electromagnetic emission generated by unstable ion distributions. It occurs in the inner magnetosphere and propagates close to the geomagnetic equator between the local proton cyclotron frequency and local lower hybrid frequency. We make systematic analysis of EN using data from the STAFF-SA instruments onboard the four spacecraft of the Cluster mission.
