EXPERIMENTAL OBSERVATIONS OF PROTON WHISTLERS FROM THE INJUN 3 VLF DATA,

Abstract

A new VLF phenomenon named a proton whistler has been identified in the VLF data from Alouette 1 and Injun 3 satellites. Two independent analyses on 12% of the proton whistler Injun 3 data were conducted: a semi-monthly sample of data for Injun 3's ten month lifetime to determine the gross features of proton whistlers; and a local nighttime and local daytime study of proton whistlers. Six assertions are made from these experimental observations. (Author)
