These signals were recorded by the twin Van Allen Probes spacecraft EMFISIS Waves instruments on 2012-11-08 during hour 22 UTC. The measurements of the Bw antenna on each spacecraft were used to generate spatially separated stereo recordings during four intervals where both spacecraft were collecting data. During this time the spacecraft were separated by about 136 km.

The videos present frequency-time spectrograms for the two spacecraft, with a moving cursor that shows the time position of the audio track. Time advances from left to right along the horizontal axis, frequency ranges from low to high frequencies along the vertical axes, and the amplitude of the signals is color coded with blue indicating weak signals and red indicating strong signals.
