The nonthermal terrestrial continuum (NTC) at frequencies between about 30 and 110 kHz was first characterized by Shaw (1973) andGurnett (1975). These emissions are found to originate at the plasma frequency at steep density gradients in the plasmapause and magnetopause regions of the Earth's magnetosphere. Later, a higher frequency component of the terrestrial continuum, which appears to be generated inside the Earth's plasmasphere, was first detected by the Geotail satellite at a frequency of 100-800 kHz, corresponding to the plasma frequency inside the plasmasphere at an altitude extending down to only a few thousand kilometers in the topside equatorial region of the Earth's ionosphere (Hashimoto et al., 1999(Hashimoto et al., , 2006Green & Boardsen, 2006). This component is referred to as the "kilometric continuum (KC)".
