Natural and man-made terrestrial electromagnetic noise: an outlook

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the natural and man-made electromagnetic noise in the NIR band and their influence on human life and living systems in general, including the effects of electromagnetic noise on human beings.
Journal ArticleDOI

The annual variation in quiet time plasmaspheric electron density, determined from whistler mode group delays

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the combined F2 medians at each end of the field line (Argentine Islands and Wallops Island) by assuming that diffusive equilibrium is maintained from the F2 layer to the equator over long time scales during quiet magnetic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Significance of lightning-generated whistlers to inner radiation belt electron lifetimes

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the L-shell variation and significance of WEP-driven loss of Van Allen belt electrons by combining in situ measurements of electron precipitation, local WEP rates determined from Trimpi perturbations, and global lightning distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temporal signatures of radiation belt electron precipitation induced by lightning-generated MR whistler waves: 2. Global signatures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors calculate the temporal and spatial precipitation signatures of energetic radiation-belt electrons due to pitch-angle scattering by magnetospherically reflecting (MR) whistler waves generated by lightning discharges at geomagnetic source latitudes of λs = 25°, 35°, 45°, and 55°.
Journal ArticleDOI

First whistler observed in the magnetosphere of Saturn

TL;DR: The first whistler was detected by the Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) instrument on the Cassini spacecraft during the inbound pass on October 28, 2004, at a radial distance of 6.18 RS (Saturn radii) as mentioned in this paper.

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.
