Inhomogeneous transverse electric fields and wave generation in the auroral region: A statistical study

• We use data from the Freja satellite to investigate the importance of localized transverse DC electric fields for the generation of broadband waves responsible for ion heating in the auroral region. Theoretical models indicate that shear in the plasma Row
