Khazanov, G.V., Liemohn, M.W., Krivorutsky, E.N. and Horwitz, J.L. (1997). A model for lower hybrid wave excitation compared with observations by Viking. Geophysical Research Letters 24: doi: 10.1029/97GL02389. issn: 0094-8276.

The mechanism of lower hybrid wave (LHW) excitation due to the O+ relative drift in a plasma subjected to low-frequency waves (LFWs) is used for analysis of Viking satellite data for events in the cusp/cleft region. In some cases, such a mechanism leads to LHW energy densities and ion distribution functions close to those observed, suggesting the proposed mechanism is a plausible candidate to explain certain classes of LHW generation events in space plasmas. ¿ 1997 American Geophysical Union
