Continuum Previous: Results (Cont.)

• DE-1 observations of escaping continuum (Gurnett and Morgan, 1991)

  • Direction finding results show distinct outward beaming from the equatorial plasmapause

• DE-1 observations of trapped continuum(Gurnett, et al., 1983)

  • "Radiation comparable to the trapped continuum radiation detected by Gurnett and Shaw [1973] near the equatorial plane has not yet been identified in the DE-1 data over the polar region."
  • "The improved sensitivity and frequency resolution available with the DE-1 instrument simply was not possible with the 16 channel spectrum analyzer on Hawkeye."
  • "The Z-mode radiation probably corresponds to the noise previously identified as 'continuum radiation' in the Hawkeye polar region data."

• Z-mode radiation is limited by the Fuhr
