PLASMA WAVES IN THE FREQUENCY RANGE 0.00110 CPS IN THE EARTH'S MAGNETOSPHERE AND IONOSPHERE: A SURVEY.
Abstract
The plasma model for the magnetospher and ionosphere is first discussed. A review of some parts of the theory for a warm collisionless plasma of interest in the magnetosphere in connection with waves of periods between 0.1 and 1000 seconds is given. The theory for magnetohydrodynamic waves in a slightly ionized gas is then summarized. The available observational data about magnetospheric and ionospheric phenomena, which may be interpreted in terms of waves with periods between 0.1 and 1000 seconds, are briefly survayed and some theoretical applications to the ionosphere and magnetosphere are finally discussed. Most of the report is devoted to warm-plasma theory. The theory of shock phenomena and transients in the magnetosphere is not included in the report. (Author)
