Figure Lengend Snippet: Examples of the source dataset. Survey data of the EMFISIS Waves instrument on Van Allen Probe A. The time interval corresponds to one orbital period of the spacecraft, from perigee to perigee. ( a ) Local plasma density from the upper hybrid frequency for a geomagnetically disturbed orbit of 28 September 2017; the red and blue horizontal line on the top indicates the position within the plasmapause and outside of it, respectively, according to an empirical model . ( b ) Trace of the power spectral density matrix of the three magnetic field components as a function of frequency and time. ( c ) Signed magnetic field ellipticity plotted when the magnetic power spectral density is above the P 0 = 10 −7 noise threshold. ( d – f ) Plasma density, trace of the magnetic power spectral density matrix, and signed ellipticity for a geomagnetically calm orbit of 1 January 2015. Four types of whistler mode emissions are shown by numbers and arrows: 1—plasmaspheric hiss, 2a–f—lower band chorus and exohiss, 3—upper band chorus, 4—equatorial noise, 5—lightning generated whistlers. Overplotted dashed and solid lines show the frequency interval of lower-band exohiss/chorus between 0.1 and 0.5 \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${f}_{{ce}0}$$\end{document} f ce 0 , where the equatorial electron cyclotron frequency \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${f}_{{ce}0}$$\end{document} f ce 0 is estimated from the locally measured magnetic field strength using Eq. .
