Abstract
Observations by the Dynamics Explorer 1 satellite provide validation of the theory that terrestrial myriametric radiation is produced by the linear conversion of electrostatic upper hybrid waves to electromagnetic radiation via a radio window. This theory predicts that the myriametric radiation is beamed relative to the magnetic field lines.
