Propagation of whistler-mode waves transmitted by the DSX satellite
Experiments consisting of the transmission and receiving of ELF (300-3000 Hz) whistler-mode waves were conducted on board of DSX satellite. In several events, the transmitted waves were received by the same antenna on the satellite after a time delay of several hundred milliseconds. These events suggest that the transmitted waves propagate mostly along the ambient magnetic field, reflect at some location along their path, and return back to the satellite. The main questions related to these observations are: (1) What causes the guiding of the waves along the ambient magnetic field? and (2) Where in the magnetosphere are these waves reflected? The results from analytical and numerical studies presented in this paper indicate that the waves are guided by the field-aligned density inhomogeneities (aka ducts), and they are reflected from the ends of the duct.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics (JASTP) is an international journal concerned with the inter-disciplinary science of the Earth''s atmospheric and space environment, especially the highly varied and highly variable physical phenomena that occur in this natural laboratory and the processes that couple them.
The journal covers the physical processes operating in the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere, the Sun, interplanetary medium, and heliosphere. Phenomena occurring in other "spheres", solar influences on climate, and supporting laboratory measurements are also considered. The journal deals especially with the coupling between the different regions.
Solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and other energetic events on the Sun create interesting and important perturbations in the near-Earth space environment. The physics of such "space weather" is central to the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics and the journal welcomes papers that lead in the direction of a predictive understanding of the coupled system. Regarding the upper atmosphere, the subjects of aeronomy, geomagnetism and geoelectricity, auroral phenomena, radio wave propagation, and plasma instabilities, are examples within the broad field of solar-terrestrial physics which emphasise the energy exchange between the solar wind, the magnetospheric and ionospheric plasmas, and the neutral gas. In the lower atmosphere, topics covered range from mesoscale to global scale dynamics, to atmospheric electricity, lightning and its effects, and to anthropogenic changes.
