“…In the history of Japanese scientific spacecraft, the GEOTAIL mission is one of the most important projects investigating the phenomena in the earth's magnetosphere, by which so many new findings and paradigms were introduced by combining observation, computer simulations and theoretical studies. The WFC onboard SELENE is expected to clarify the detailed features of the wave phenomena observed by PWI instruments (Matsumoto et al, 1994a) on board the GEOTAIL spacecraft, such as Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR) (Murata et al, 1997;, nonthermal continuum and kilometric continuum (KC) (Hashimoto et al, 1999(Hashimoto et al, , 2005(Hashimoto et al, , 2006, continuum enhancement , low-frequency bursts (Anderson et al, 1997), electrostatic solitary wave (ESW) (Matsumoto et al, 1994b), narrowband electrostatic noise (NEN) , f p and 2 f p emissions (Kasaba et al, 2000), and solar radio emissions (Kasahara et al, 2001), among others. Emissions with frequencies higher than the maximum plasma frequency of the magnetosheath (about 30 kHz), such as AKR, KC, and continuum enhancement, and type II and III solar bursts are observed both inside and outside the magnetosphere.…”
