An Ion Gyrofrequency Phenomenon observed in Satellites

Nature volume 204, pages 274–275 (1964)Cite this article

Abstract

Barrington and Belrose1, Gurnett and O'Brien2 and Brice et al.3 have reported that very-low-frequency emissions at frequencies of a few kc/s may be observed in satellites immediately following an atmospheric which has propagated upwards to the satellite. Brice and Smith4 suggested that these triggered emissions were related to the lower hybrid resonance for propagation transverse to the Earth's magnetic field.
