Scientific paper

Ray-tracing simulations and estimates of whistler wave damping show that magnetospherically reflected whistlers can persist for about 100 s in a LF band (about 1 kHz). The combined contribution from whistler rays produced by a single lightning flash but entering the magnetosphere at different points form a continuous hisslike signal, as observed at a fixed point. Estimates indicate that the total whistler wave energy input into the magnetosphere from lightning discharges may maintain experimentally observed levels of magnetospheric hiss.
