英文摘要 | Using Poynting vector measurements of whistler mode chorus emissions detected by the THEMIS spacecraft within the source region, that is, close to the magnetic field minimum, we found both in individual events and statistically that chorus elements propagating equatorward had systematically higher frequencies and smaller amplitudes compared with simultaneously observed elements propagating away from the equator. We demonstrate similar features in the results of numerical simulations based on backward wave oscillator equations. It can be qualitatively explained by the nonlinear evolution of the energetic electron distribution function during wave generation. The motion of electrons from the equator is accompanied by a decrease in their velocity component along the magnetic field line due to both the adiabatic mirror force and nonlinear wave-particle interactions. Thus, the frequency of the chorus elements generated by such electrons and propagating equatorward is higher compared with the elements propagating away from the equator. ©2020. The Authors. |
