The Rotation of Hydromagnetic Waves by the Ionosphere
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the Doppler shift on whistler mode signals from VLF transmitters may be used to infer the magnetic field of an hydromagnetic wave above the ionosphere in the magnetosphere. This inferred field can then be compared with that measured on the ground. We examine one event in detail and show the data imply that a it/2 rotation of the orientation of the wave ellipse has occurred between the magnetosphere and the ground.

Generation of ELF waves during HF heating of the ionosphere at midlatitudes
Modulated high frequency radio frequency heating of the ionospheric F-region produces a local modulation of the electron temperature, and the resulting pressure gradient gives rise to a diamagnetic current. The oscillations of the diamagnetic current excite hydromagnetic waves in the ELF range that propagate away from the heated region. The generation of the waves in the 2 – 10 Hz range by a mo...

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...

Steady hydromagnetic Couette flow of class-II of a viscous, incompressible and electrically conducting fluid through a porous medium in a rotating system taking Hall current into account is investigated. Heat transfer characteristics of the fluid flow are considered taking viscous and Joule dissipations into account. It is noticed that there exists flow separation at the moving plate in the sec...
