Abstract
Auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) occultations in the vicinity of the Earth are studied using two observations by GEOTAIL and POLAR. We compared the dynamic spectra of both satellites for eight months paying attention to times and frequencies at which AKR is observed simultaneously. Then, we carefully examined the AKR illumination regions using the POLAR two-month orbit data. Two distinct regions where the AKR is occulted are found during the period. One is the region on the night side of the Earth, where the AKR does not propagate at frequencies >400 kHz. The other region is in the vicinity of the plasmapause, on both the day and night side of the Earth.
