Abstract
THIS communication reports riser whistlers observed for the first time in a ground station. They were noticed during the routine recording of whistlers at our low latitude station, the High Altitude Research Laboratory, Gulmarg (geomagnetic latitude 24° 10′ N, geomagnetic longitude 147° 24′ E). Because these whistlers appear as rising tones in the sonagrams, they resemble the “riser whistlers” reported by Pfeiffer et al.1, from the Injun III satellite observations.
