快模磁声波通常被限制在靠近磁赤道的地方,并在当地赤道质子回旋频率的倍数处表现出谐波结构。本文报道了在地磁纬度−16.5°-−17.9°和L壳2.7-4.6时,在赤道附近观测到的磁声波。观测到的波具有多个频率间隔的离散谱结构。优势频率间隔分别为~6和9 Hz,均不等于局域质子回旋频率。反向射线追踪模拟表明,多频间隔的特征是由位于L ≈ 4.2和3.7的两个空间狭窄的赤道源区的传播引起的。这两个地点的赤道质子回旋频率与观测到的两个频率间隔相匹配。我们的分析首次观测到远离赤道区的磁声波的谐波性质,并表明来自多个赤道源的传播对这些频率间隔不同的赤道外磁声发射有贡献。
Fast mode magnetosonic waves are typically confined close to the magnetic equator and exhibit harmonic structures at multiples of the local, equatorial proton cyclotron frequency. We report observations of magnetosonic waves well off the equator at geomagnetic latitudes from −16.5°to −17.9° and L shell ~2.7–4.6. The observed waves exhibit discrete spectral structures with multiple frequency spacings. The predominant frequency spacings are ~6 and 9 Hz, neither of which is equal to the local proton cyclotron frequency. Backward ray tracing simulations show that the feature of multiple frequency spacings is caused by propagation from two spatially narrow equatorial source regions located at L ≈ 4.2 and 3.7. The equatorial proton cyclotron frequencies at those two locations match the two observed frequency spacings. Our analysis provides the first observations of the harmonic nature of magnetosonic waves well away from the equatorial region and suggests that the propagation from multiple equatorial sources contributes to these off‐equatorial magnetosonic emissions with varying frequency spacings.
