چکیده

The multiple signal classification (MUSIC) method and the wave distribution function (WDF) method are applied to the artificial VLF wave propagation from Khabarovsk through the magnetospheric duct to the conjugate point Ceduna (L = 1.8). The estimated arriving direction and the wave energy indicates that the location of the termination of the magnetospheric duct fluctuates related to the geomagnetic pulsation Pc3.

Subionospheric VLF measurements of the effects of geomagnetic storms on the mid-latitude D-region

We examine the effects on the mid-latitude D-region of two geomagnetic storms, the "Halloween storm" of late October 2003 and the 07 April 2000 storm, by means of the associated perturbations of several subionospheric VLF/LF signals propagating in both the northern and southern hemispheres. We use VLF/LF nighttime data from the Holographic Array for Ionospheric/Lightning Research (HAIL), locate...

Multistation observations of ELF/VLF whistler mode chorus

[1] An array of seven ELF/VLF receivers in Alaska is utilized for direction finding and determination of ionospheric exit point of whistler mode chorus waves from the Earth’s magnetosphere. Each receiver records both orthogonal horizontal magnetic components of the chorus waves. All sites use GPS-synchronized sampling, allowing for the localization of ionospheric exit points utilizing both arri...

Analysis of magnetospheric ELF/VLF wave amplification from the Siple Transmitter experiment

Controlled experiments with dedicated ground-based ELF/VLF (0.3–30 kHz) transmitters are invaluable in investigating nonlinear whistler mode wave-particle interactions in the Earth’s magnetosphere. The most productive such experiment operated between 1973 and 1988 near L= 4 at Siple Station, Antarctica. A major effort has been undertaken to digitize and preserve a significant portion of the his...

Global observation of 24 November 2006 Pc5 pulsations by single mid-latitude underground [SQUID]2 system

On 24 November 2006, simultaneous observations of Pc5 pulsations, electron precipitation and whistlermode chorus, as well as solar wind and IMF parameters have been analyzed based on data from IMAGE magnetometers, riometer array and temporal VLF station. This paper focuses on the Pc5 pulsations detected at the same time, in the 1–25 millihertz range, by the [SQUID]2 system (SQUID magnetometer w...

Some unusual discrete VLF emissions observed at a low-latitude ground station at Agra

A detailed analysis of the VLF emissions data obtained during occasional whistler campaigns at the low-latitude ground station Agra (geomagnetic latitude 17°1¢ N, L = 1.15) has yielded some unusual discrete VLF emissions of the rising type. These include (1) emissions occurring at time intervals increasing in geommetrical progression, (2) emissions occuring simultaneously in di€erent frequency ...
