Outline What is whistler? Examples Mechanism of whistler waves formation Whistler propagation in magnetosphere: ducted whistlers magnetospherically reflected whistlers Interaction of whistler waves with energetic particles from Earth’s radiation belts References

Whistler! What is this!? From Merriam-Webster whis·tler a : any of various birds; especially : any of numerous oscine birds (especially genus Pachycephala) found chiefly in Australia and South Pacific islands and having a whistling call b : a large marmot (Marmota caligata) of northwestern North America having a shrill alarm call c : a broken-winded horse d : a very-low-frequency radio signal that is generated by lightning discharge, travels along the earth's magnetic-field lines, and produces a sound resembling a whistle of descending pitch in radio receivers Example of a whistler recorded at Palmer Station, Antarctica

Modeling of MR whistlers

Earth’s radiation belts

Lightning (whistler) induced electron precipitation Basic physics of Lightning-induced Electron Precipitation (LEP): 1) Lightning discharges produce intense electromagnetic radiation in very low frequency (VLF) range. 2) The VLF waves enter into the magnetosphere where they propagate almost along B-field lines to a region near the magnetic equator. 3) In the equatorial region VLF waves can effectively interact with energetic electrons from the radiation belts which leads to the scattering of electrons, i.e. changing of their pitch angles distribution if this condition is satisfied: ωCe = ω – k║ v║ 4) The change of the pitch angles leads to lowering of electrons reflection points in their bounce motion between conjugate ionospheres and as a consequence to their precipitation into the atmosphere.
