Abstract
The cyclotron soliton theory of radioemission in plasma of Istomin, Petviashvily and Pokhotelov (1977) is applied to the geomagnetic plasma. The theory explains many of the features of terrestrial kilometric radiation (TKR), including the power Hz-1 at 200 kHz and the total power of the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR-that part of TKR generated above auroras), as well as the location of the strong variable sources of TKR and, qualitatively, the relationship of the intensity of AKR to the AE index.Keywords
