Rocket measurement of wave normal directions of low-latitude sunset whistlers

Akira Iwai, Toshimi Okada, Masashi Hayakawa

Abstract

The measurement of the wave normal direction of short whistlers is made in the ionosphere by means of a three-dimensional crossed loop antenna on a rocket. The results of the whistler wave normal direction are presented, and some relationships to the propagation characteristics in the magnetosphere and also to the penetration through the ionosphere are discussed.
