Observations from spacecraft have revealed naturally occurring radio emission emanating from two regions near Earth. The characteristics of these two sources suggest a correlation with areas of known electron precipitation. The possibility of a similar production mechanism for observed nonthermal radio emissions from other planetary magnetospheres permits the polar magnetic field strengths of Jupiter and Saturn to be predicted.
从航天器上的观测结果表明,在地球附近的两个区域存在自然产生的射电辐射。这两个辐射源的特征表明它们与已知的电子沉降区域有关。在其他行星磁层中观察到的非热射电辐射也可能存在类似的产生机制,因此可以据此预测木星和土星的极区磁场强度。
