“…Intense broadband electrostatic noise (BEN) has been observed.not only in the near-Earth regions of the magnetosphere (Rodriguez and Gurnett, 1975;Anderson, 1984;Frank, 1977, 1978;Scarf et al, 1972;Gurnett et al, 1979;Catell et al, 1986) but also in the tail regions (Gurnett et al, 1976;Scarf et al, 1974Scarf et al, , 1984aNishida et al, 1985). The ISEE-3 spacecraft observed BEN in the magnetosheath, the lobe and the lowlatitude boundary layer (Scarf et al, 1984a), as well as in conjunction with sheath flux ropes (Kennel et al, 1986) and slow shocks .…”
