Abstract

A study, which is the first of its kind, uses information derived from simultaneously measured wave spectra and particle distributions as the input to a theoretical linear instability model of an electrostatic cyclotron harmonic wave event recorded on GEOS-1. The presence of a hot loss cone component of the particle distribution is established experimentally, and the model accounts reasonably for the observed frequencies and relative strengths of the (n+1/2)f c and upper hybrid emission features.
