Experimental Observations of Proton Whistlers from the INJUN 3 VLF Data.

摘要

A new VLF phenomenon named a proton whistler has been identified in the VLF data from Alouette 1 and INJUN 3 satellites. Two independent analyses on 12% of the proton whistler INJUN 3 data were conducted: a semi-monthly sample of data for INJUN 3's ten month lifetime to determine the gross features of proton whistlers; and a local nighttime and local daytime study of proton whistlers. Six assertions are made from these experimental observations. (Author)
