Abstract
We studied spectral characteristics of VLF waves observed onboard the Van Allen Probe B satellite on November 30, 2015. The peculiarity of the observed spectrum is the presence of two spectral maxima below and above half the electron gyrofrequency. Such a feature, typical of the spectra of chorus emissions, was observed for noise-like emissions in the case under discussion. Simultaneously with the observation of VLF emissions, the satellite also measured differential fluxes of energetic electrons, the magnitude of the ambient magnetic field, and cold plasma concentration. Based on these data, the growth rates of waves in the whistler band were calculated. The calculations were performed in two different ways, which yielded similar results. Comparison of the observed spectra of noise emissions and the calculated wave growth rates shows their good agreement.
