Scientific paper

The data from the real-time whistler analyzer at Moshiri obtained from November 1977 to February 1978 are used to study the formation and decay of whistler ducts at lower latitudes. The presence of a quasi-Gaussian-shaped burst with a single dispersion value as the most fundamental unit is noted, and prolonged occurrences of whistlers are interpreted as successions of partially overlapping fundamental bursts. Each such burst is indicative of the formation and decay of a single whistler duct. The possibility that variations in thunderstorm activity may account for the fundamental bursts is considered, and various duct formation mechanisms which have been proposed are summarized.
