Abstract:V.l.f. coherent waves transmitted from Siple Station, Antarctica, provide a novel means for the study and control of the magnetosphere and ionosphere. Through cyclotron resonance the waves exchange energy with radiation belt electrons, causing wave growth (

in power), wave-wave interaction and modification of the distribution of electrons. The measured growth rates give information on the flux of energetic electrons along the path of propagation. Precipi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
