| Description | Whistler propagation in the magnetosphere was studied in detail to find accurate and economical means of determining the path latitude and the electron concentration along the path from whistler parameters of nose frequency and travel time at the nose. Longitudinal propagation in field aligned whistler ducts of cold plasma was assumed, and the earth's magnetic field was approximated by a centered dipole. The effects of whistler propagation in the earth-ionosphere waveguide and through the conjugate ionospheres were treated as small perturbations. Several alternative methods are described so that the most economical method may be chosen depending on the desired accuracy and the availability of a computer or a calculator. |
