Popis: It is demonstrated that large-amplitude low-frequency waves (LFW) can generate lower hybrid waves (LHW) in the auroral zone and ring current region. The LHW could then heat the ions. The ion energization due to the LHW may be comparable with that produced by the ponderomotive force of the LFW.
