Trapping of lower hybrid waves in elongated plasma depletions in the Earth’s ionosphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conditions for trapping of lower hybrid waves in plasma depletions in the Earth’s ionosphere are discussed. It is shown that the trapping can take place for the frequencies not only below but also above the lower hybrid resonance frequency of the background plasma, which is important for the formation of the downshifted maximum of the secondary electromagnetic emission. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Excitation and trapping of lower hybrid waves in striations
The theory of lower hybrid LH waves trapped in striations in warm ionospheric plasma in the three-dimensional case is presented. A specific mechanism of trapping associated with the linear transformation of waves is discussed. It is shown analytically that such trapping can take place in elongated plasma depletions with the frequencies below and above the lower hybrid resonance frequency of the...
متن کاملNumerical Studies and Simulation of the Lower Hybrid Waves Current Drive by using Fokker – Planck Equation in NSST and HT-7 Tokamaks
Recent experiments on the spherical tokamak have discovered the conditions to create a powerful plasma and ensure easy shaping and amplification of stability, high bootstrap current and confinement energy. The spherical tours (ST) fusion energy development path is complementary to the tokamak burning plasma experiment such as NSTX and higher toroidal beta regimes and improves the design of a po...
متن کاملWhistler Wave Interactions with Space Plasmas during HF Heating of the Ionosphere at Arecibo
We demonstrate that signals at 28.5 kHz emitted from the Naval (NAU) transmitter in Puerto Rico e ectively couple into ionospheric ducts, induced/enhanced by the Arecibo HF heater, and propagate into the conjugate hemisphere as ducted whistlers. Also presented are suspected radar detections of whistler-triggered electron precipitation events. NAU-generated whistlers have intensities su cient to...
متن کاملOn the Features of Magnetogradient Planetary Waves in the Approximation of the Spherical Symmetry of the Ionosphere
A problem of propagation of very long planetary waves in the upper atmosphere of the Earth is investigated. A new exact solution of the magnetohydrodynamics equations of the ionosphere in the spherical coordinate system is found taking into account the Earth’s rotation and geomagnetic field. The general dispersion equation for the planetary waves in the E and F regions of the ionosphere is deri...
متن کاملTHE DISTURBANCES IN IRON TRANSPORT AND STORES AND TOTAL FREE RADICAL TRAPPING ABILITY OF BLOOD PLASMA IN BABIES WITH MITOCHONDRIAL ENCEPHALO MYOPATHIES
Babies with mitochondrial encephalomyopathies had higher ferritin levels than controls. Although plasma iron levels were simi lar in both groups, babies with mitochondrial encephalomyopathies had lower transferrin levels. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in plasma of babies with mitochondrial encephalomyopathies were higher thun in controls suggesting increased lipid oxidation. We s...
