Journal ArticleDOI

Anthropogenic Space Weather

TL;DR: In this article, the fundamental physical process behind the anthropogenic effects on the space environment is reviewed and the observations of their impacts are discussed. But the authors do not consider the effects of high-altitude nuclear tests on the environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of subionospheric propagation on whistlers recorded by the DEMETER satellite – observation and modelling

TL;DR: In this paper, a specific signal structure of numerous fractional-hop whistlers, termed the "Spiky Whistler" (SpW) was identified, which appeared to be composed of a conventional whistler combined by the compound mode-patterns of guided wave propagation, suggesting a whistler excited by a lightning "week" spheric.

Four Decades of Space-Borne Radio Sounding

TL;DR: A review of the 38 rocket, satellite, and planetary payloads dedicated to ionospheric/magnetospheric radio sounding since 1961 is given in this paper, with a focus on the topology of the ionosphere and magnetosphere.
Journal ArticleDOI

Excitation of Nonsymmetric Waves by Given Sources in a Magnetoplasma in the Presence of a Cylindrical Plasma Channel

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the problem of excitation of electromagnetic field by spatially bounded, arbitrary given sources in a magnetoplasma in the presence of a cylindrical plasma channel aligned with an external magnetic field.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic storm effects on the mid-latitude plasmasphere

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors observed that the number of observed whistler ducts increases with the frequency of received whistler mode signals during magnetic storms, due probably to enhanced ionospheric propagation of the signals.

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.

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.
