Midlatitude detection of ELF whistlers

TL;DR: In this paper, the frequency and dispersion characteristics of the mid-latitude ELF whistler-like magnetic events were observed at Table Mountain, California (34.4°N, 117.7°W).
Journal ArticleDOI

Propagation Spectrograms of Whistler-Mode Radiation from Lightning

TL;DR: In this paper, images of propagation spectrograms based on spacecraft observations of electromagnetic radiation of lightning strokes are presented. But they do not provide a detailed analysis on wave polarization characteristics and propagation directions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Full-wave description of the lower hybrid reflection of whistler waves

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-electrostatic whistler wave propagating in the direction of increasing lower hybrid resonance (LHR) frequency experiences reflection from the region in which its frequency becomes lower than the LHR frequency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electromagnetics of sprite- and elve-associated sferics

TL;DR: In this article, the primary data set consists of electric and magnetic field waveforms related to visually identified sprites and elves recorded on the night of 24-25 July 1995, collected near State College, PA, from a mesoscale convective system (MCS) located about 2100 km away near Lubbock, TX.
Journal ArticleDOI

Focusing and interference of whistler-mode waves in a spatially varying magnetic field

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytic investigation is made of rays from a source in a magneto-ionic medium for which the magnetic field H and the electron density vary, in a Cartesian co-ordinate system Oxyz, with x alone.

The boundary of the geomagnetic field

TL;DR: In this article, the geomagnetic field boundary was determined using data obtained from a magnetometer on the explorer Explorer XI and the magnetometer was used to measure the magnetic field boundary.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stimulated Emission of Radiation by Relativistic Electrons in a Magnetic Field

TL;DR: In this article, the relativistic Schroedinger equation of an electron moving perpendicularly to a magnetic field H, can be reduced to the equation of the harmonic oscillator, and formulas were derived by means of the Boltzman transfer equation, taking into account the dependence of the electron mass on kinetic energy.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-latitude geophysical studies with satellite Injun 3: 3. Precipitation of electrons into the atmosphere

TL;DR: In this article, the precipitation of electrons with energy Ee ≥ 40 kev into the atmosphere over North America is analyzed using three directional Geiger tubes on the magnetically oriented satellite Injun 3.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scattering of energetic trapped electrons by very‐low‐frequency waves

TL;DR: In this article, the role of VLF waves in precipitating fast electrons is studied and it is found that, by Doppler-shifting whistler frequencies (1−10 kc/s) up to the local Larmor frequency, a resonant interaction of the type proposed by Dragt and Wentzel (for interaction of protons with hydromagnetic waves) can cause the mirror points of the electrons to move randomly.
