Change in the spectralfeatures ofQP emissions due to poleward magnetic bay (f < 1.7 kHz) of emissions could be generated at higher L-shells by the trapped particles injected by the polar substorm in the magnetosphere. We note that the high-frequency QP emissions (“candles”) seemed to be rather similar to the QP event discussed by Titova et al. (2015) comparing the simultaneous observations on RBSP spacecraft above UK and the ground-based data at KAN and concluded that this QP event was generated inside of the plasmasphere. It can confirm our assumption of the mention above scenario of the wave generation. Wide frequency band observed in each individual QP element allows us to assume that the particles injected by polar substorm could scatter in different L-shells inside and outside of the plasmasphere and cause the cyclotron generation of waves simultaneously at different L-shells. a b с Figure 8.

Summary The ground-based observations o f QP emissions can be a very sensitive tool for studying the state of the magnetospheric maser [Trakhtengerts and Rycroft, 2008] controlled conditions of the VLF emission generation. It is shown that even a small substorm at the very high-latitudes located far away from the ground VLF receiver can break the self-oscillation regime of the cyclotron instability and change the dynamic spectra of QP emissions observed on the ground or provide the better conditions for wave to penetrate through the ionosphere.
