Scientific paper

Propagation paths of subprotonospheric (SP) whistlers are studied on the basis of Ogo 4 satellite data and ray tracing. SP whistler components picked up at a point in the ionosphere are associated with wave packets entering the lower ionosphere at different latitudes and traversing different paths. Reflection of a downcoming SP whistler component near the ion cutoff frequency is accompanied by a tone whose frequency increases with time. Horizontal gradients in the ionosphere are shown to play a major role in reflection of ELF waves at heights of about 1000 km. The combination of SP whistler and rising-tone component is examined as a possible useful diagnostic probe of the plasma structure of the ionosphere.
