Abstract
Many significant wave phenomena have been discovered at Venus with the plasma wave instrument flow on the Pioneer Venus Orbiter. It has been shown that whistler-mode waves in the magnetosheath of the planet may be an important source of energy for the topside ionosphere. Plasma waves are also associated with thickening of the ionopause current layer. Current-generated waves in plasma clouds may provide anomalous resistance resulting in electron acceleration, possibly producing aurora. Ion-acoustic waves are observed in the bow shock, and appear to be a feature of the magnetotail boundary. Lastly plasma waves have been cited as evidence for lightning on Venus.
