Magnetospheric physics: Hiss from the chorus
Craig J. Rodger1 & Mark A. Clilverd1
Abstract
What is the origin of the broadband, low-intensity radio waves thought to control the radiation belts that surround Earth? The latest suggestion sees this 'hiss' emerging from an unsuspected quarter.
Hard on the heels of the Soviet Union, the United States entered the space race fractionally over 50 years ago. The scientific instrumentation of America's first Earth-orbiting satellite, Explorer 1, launched on 31 January 1958, was designed and built under the direction of one James Van Allen of the University of Iowa.
