Initial survey of the wave distribution functions for plasmaspheric hiss observed by ISEE 1The generation mechanism of hiss observed by ISEE 1 satellite in the earth magnetosphere is investigated by analyzing the ELF/VLF wave data obtained from four passes of ISEE 1, all of which occurring during magnetically quiet periods. The results of these measurements, together with those published earlier, indicate that the generation mechanisms proposed by Kennel alnd Petschek (1966), by Thorne et al. (1979), and by Solomon et al. (1988, 1989) are all physically possible and can come into action whenever the necessary conditions exist. However, plasmaspheric hiss was observed by ISEE even when the conditions for any of these mechanisms existed; under these conditions, hiss appears to be generated near the equatorial plane over a wide range of L values, with the wave normals at large angles to the field. The generation mechanism that applies in such cases is still unknown.
