Brief Description (Abstract):

Under the above-proposed project, we have recorded whistlers with the help of analog system. Whistlers are very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic waves generated by lighting discharges which propagate along the magnetic field lines of the earth, get dispersed due to the field aligned irregularities and are heard as descending tones with higher frequencies coming first and lower frequencies arriving subsequently falling tone. During the last four decades, significant progress has been made in elucidating the solar wind- magnetosphere - ionosphere-coupling processes at high latitudes between (50-70 degree geomagnetic latitudes) using the propagation path of whistlers.

Status: Completed

Purpose: (i) Continuous recording of Whistler at Antarctic with the help of Analog System (ii) Multistation recording of Whistler (Bhopal, Agra, Varanasi, and Jammu) for Coordinated Study of Very Low Frequency (VLF) Phenomena.
