We report new observations from the CLUSTER spacecraft of strong excitation of lower hybrid (LH) waves by electromagnetic (EM) whistler mode waves at altitudes greater than or equal to20,000 km outside the plasmasphere. Previous observations of this phenomenon occurred at altitudes less than or equal to7000 km. The excitation mechanism appears to be linear mode coupling in the presence of small scale plasma density irregularities. These observations provide strong evidence that EM whistler mode waves are continuously transformed into LH waves as the whistler mode waves propagate at high altitudes beyond Lsimilar to4. This may explain the lack of lightning generated whistlers observed in this same region of space.
