We use observations from the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft to identify a free energy source for high-frequency whistler waves in the Earth’s quasi-perpendicular bow shock. In the considered measurements, whistlers propagate both parallel and antiparallel to the background magnetic field B 0 with frequencies around 100 Hz (0.15 f ce, where f ce is the electron cyclotron frequency) and amplitudes between 0.1 and 1 nT. Their growth can be attributed to localized pitch angle anisotropy in the electron velocity distribution function that cannot be precisely described by macroscopic parameters like heat flux or temperature anisotropy. However, the presence of heat flux along − B 0 does create preferential conditions for the high-frequency whistler waves that propagate in this direction. These waves are directed partially toward the shock, meaning they can scatter electrons that are streaming from the shock. This prolongs the time the electrons spend in the shock transition region and thereby promotes electron energization.
