Radio wave remote sensing by Cluster and RegattaA coordinated Cluster/Regatta mission provides unique opportunities for remote sensing studies of terrestrial radio emissions. The scientific questions that can be addressed by remote radio measurements from Cluster and Regatta are described and the technical issues involved are discussed. The radio emission of primary interest is Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR) which is a powerful radio emission generated over the Earth's auroral zones at frequencies from 100 to 500 kHz.
