Abstract
Results of a survey of the Voyager plasma wave instrument wide-band frames that exhibit a narrow-band emission below the low-frequency cutoff of the continuum band are discussed. The analysis of these waves made it possible to identify them as the slow branch of the X mode, the so-called Z mode. As the Voyager 1 spacecraft approached the plasma sheet on March 8, 1979, the Z mode intensified and then disappeared on plasma sheet entry. This observation is interpreted as evidence of local Z mode generation.
