摘要:t The off-equatorial minimum-B-pocket (OEMBP) at high latitudes in the dayside outer
magnetosphere is expected as another source region of the electrostatic electron cyclotron harmonic (ECH)
waves, in addition to the magnetic equator. However, its crucial role in the excitation of the dayside ECH
waves has never been directly investigated due to its spatiotemporal-varying and difficulty to be located.
Based on the observations from Magnetospheric Multiscale satellites, we statistically analyze the properties
of dayside ECH waves by organizing them according to the latitude distance from the OEMBP located by the
spatiotemporal-varying geomagnetic field model. Such mapping confirms larger occurrence rates and electric
field amplitudes of dayside ECH waves in the vicinity of the OEMBP, which gradually fall down nearby with
the latitude distance increasing. Our results provide statistical evidence for the OEMBP as another source
region of ECH waves besides the magnetic equator.
