Abstract. Multi-point wave observations on Cluster spacecraft are used to infer the dispersion relation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves. In this study we use a phase differencing method and observations from STAFF and WHISPER during a well-studied event of 30 March 2002. The phase differencing method requires the knowledge of the direction of the wave vector, which was obtained using minimum variance analysis. Wave vector amplitudes were calculated for a number of frequencies to infer the dispersion relation experimentally. The obtained dispersion relation is largely consistent with the cold plasma dispersion relation. The presented method allows inferring the dispersion relation experimentally. It can be also used in the future to analyse the hot plasma dispersion relation of waves near the local gyrofrequency that can occur under high plasma beta conditions.

We improve our previously derived addition to the BGK collision term, and express it in a simple form. The collision frequency for scattering now depends anisotropically on the velocity vector. We also apply the improved macroscopic equation of momentum flow to the Hall effect, the cold plasma dispersion relation and the cyclotron resonance. The Hall coefficient which is constant in the case of the BGK collision term now depends on the magnetic field. It is also shown that, compared with the almost symmetric classical curves of cyclotron resonance, the new curves are considerably asymmetric and their half-widths are about 3/2 times the classical ones.

The dispersion relation of a deuterium –hydrogen plasma is investigated near the ion cyclotron frequency of hydrogen at varying hydrogen temperatures. It is found that at low hydrogen-to-deuterium temperature ratios, only the fast mode and the ion Bernstein mode are coupled around the hybrid layer. Above a certain critical temperature ratio Th< Thc, these two modes become coupled also to a third mode. Around and above Thc, the wave equation is of sixth order rather than of the fourth order previously discussed.

Three-dimensional plots of dispersion in a cold anisotropic plasma are presented. The ω(κ, θ) surfaces provide a clear picture of the behaviour of cold plasma waves as the direction of propagation is varied. The group velocity (dω/dκ) has a simple geometrical interpretation on the surfaces.
