Theoretical Modeling of Plasma Waves in the Magnetosphere

Abstract

Theoretical studies of plasma waves play an important role in the understanding of characteristics of the problems of communications in the ionized environments of the earth. This project devoted efforts in the study of low frequency waves in the ionosphere and the magnetosphere. The aim was to include all recent attributes of the magnetospheric plasma, e.g. inhomogeneity, various ion species and finite beta effects in the theoretical modes. All of these features of the plasma medium affect the communication in various frequency ranges.
