Detection of Whistler Waves
A whistler wave is a very low frequency electromagnetic wave generated by lightning discharges. As the electromagnetic wave travels through the plasma environments of the ionosphere and magnetosphere, it undergoes dispersion of a several thousand kilohertz. Because the propagation velocity decreases with frequency, the lower frequency components of the wave arrive later than the higher frequenc...
متن کاملModulation of whistler mode chorus waves: 2. Role of density variations
[1] Modulation of whistler mode chorus waves, which plays an important role in driving the pulsating aurora and other processes related to energetic electron dynamics, is an interesting but a long‐standing unresolved problem. Here we utilize in situ observations from the THEMIS spacecraft to investigate the role of density variations in the modulation of the chorus wave amplitude, which forms a...
متن کاملPropagation of whistler mode waves with a modulated frequency in the magnetosphere
[1] This paper presents results from experimental and numerical studies of the propagation of whistler mode waves in the Earth’s magnetosphere. An experiment conducted at the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) on 16 March 2008 demonstrates that ionospherically generated waves with particular frequency‐time formats are amplified on their pass from HAARP to the conjugate locat...
متن کاملNumerical study of mode conversion between lower hybrid and whistler waves on short-scale density striations
[1] We present a theoretical and numerical study of linear mode conversion of lower hybrid waves interacting with short-scale density striations in the Earth’s ionosphere. The efficiency of the conversion process is investigated for different sets of parameters such as the angle of incidence, the wavelength of the lower hybrid wave, and the size of the striation. It is found that the most effic...
متن کاملModeling the propagation of whistler-mode waves in the presence of field-aligned density irregularities
We present a numerical study of propagation of VLF whistler-mode waves in a laboratory plasma. Our goal is to understand whistler propagation in magnetic field-aligned irregularities (also called channels or ducts). Two cases are examined, that of a high-frequency (x > Xce=2) whistler in a density depletion duct and that of a low-frequency (x < Xce=2) whistler in a density enhancement. Results ...
