Landau damping and linear growth of whistler mode waves with the inclusion of finite electron and ion temperature

摘要

Whistler mode waves play a dominant role in the energy dynamics of the earth's magnetosphere. In this work we present numerical raytracing results of a large number of whistler mode waves including Landau damping and linear wave power growth and finite electron and ion temperature. The results are compared with observations made on the Van Allen Probes spacecraft.
