A Program to Compute ELF/VLF Earth-Ionosphere Modal Height Gains via WKB Methods up to Satellite Altitudes.

Abstract

This report presents a variation of an earlier program for computing earth-ionosphere waveguide modal height gains. In particular, WKB formalism developed by Budden is used to speed up calculation of height gains in the ionosphere up to satellite altitudes. All quantities needed to calculate mode sums at those altitudes for all field components produced by sub-ionospheric electric dipole sources can be generated with the present program. (Author)
