Abstract
The characteristics of VLF emissions during the two magnetic storms on 5–7 June and 19–21 September, 1967 are investigated based on the Ariel 3 satellite data and ground observation at a low-latitude station in Japan. During the study of the June event, the satellite lay in the dawn-dusk plane. Soon after the onset of the main phase there appeared VLF emissions on the morning side of the magnetosphere on the ground as well as on the satellite, but the emissions were at very low level in the evening. It was not until the recovery phase that we could recognize the stationary occurrence of intense emissions in the evening. Furthermore, it is found that the chorus-type morning emissions are observed outside the plasmapause, while the narrow-banded hiss-type evening emissions lay within the plasmapause. It is shown that the cyclotron instability of ring current electrons can, on the whole, account for the many properties of the storm-like emissions. Similarly, we discuss the characteristics of the September event.
