Scientific paper

The propagation of ultralow-frequency waves in the transition region is investigated on the basis of the kinetic equation with a collision integral in the BGK model form. An analysis is presented of wave attenuation caused by collisional fading as well as by effective fading arising due to wave scattering by MHD turbulence. The results support the hypothesis of the weak fading of right-polarized waves with wave vectors directed along the flux in the reference coordinate system. This means that ultralow-frequency waves of the geomagnetic-pulsation range which are formed in the solar wind can, under certain conditions, pass through the transition region and be detected in the earth's magnetosphere.
