Scientific paper

The linear coupling between the different types of waves propagating in a warm plasma inhomogeneous along the x direction is studied in order to locate the regions in (omega, k) space where two of the roots of the characteristics equation coalesce. It is then shown that the proton whistler could be the result of a linear coupling between extraordinary and slow ion cyclotron waves close to the Buchsbaum resonance in ionospheric regions above 300-400 km where the H(plus) density begins to increase. Transformation conditions are given which favor the coupling mechanism in regions of strong longitudinal gradients.
