Abstract:

Experimental supervision for whistlers, spent in July, 2011 in an observatory of “Paratunka” (53.02°N, 158.65°E; L = 2.3) and coinciding in time with experiments under program HAARP (62.30°N, 145.30°W; L = 4.2) have allowed us to find out their non-standard form, most likely caused by peak modulation by electromagnetic pulses with duration of about 1 second and frequency of filling of ≈1.1 kHz.

Keywords:

electromagnetic fluctuations and waves, whistlers, magnetosphere
