WHISTLER-MODE PROPAGATION STUDIES USING NAVY VLF TRANSMITTERS

Abstract

The review is organized under five main topics: (1) whistler-mode propagation studies using controlled sources; (2) wave-particle interactions; (3) correlation of unique vlf propagation characteristics with other geophysical phenomena; (4) development of a vlf transmitting research facility in Antarctica; and (5) international cooperation. The history of using a controlled source as a tool for investigating the magnetospheric medium is reviewed. This technique has proven quite successful and will play a significant role in the future studies of whistler-mode propagation and environment modification.
