The results revealed that the power flux of O-mode waves was about 10 percent of the X-mode wave intensity in strong AKR emissions. The X-mode AKR waves tend to fill inside the radiation cone of an auroral field line. On the other hand, O-mode AKR showed two different propagation directions, one was directed to almost 90° with respect to the local magnetic field and the other showed angle in the vicinity of 40°. It was shown that the source locations of O-mode AKR waves with the propagation angle of about 40° located close to the source of the intense X-mode AKR waves.}, pages = {117--127}, title = {Propagation modes and source locations of the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) identified by using the wave distribution function method}, volume = {15}, year = {2001} }
