Quantitative changes of the resonant electron velocity distribution function, caused by a combination of the effects of nonlinear phase trapping and geomagnetic inhomogeneity, are investigated by a simulation study of VLF triggered emissions. The results obtained support the Roux and Pellat (1978) analytic theory, and yield detailed data on the complex behavior of both trapped and untrapped particles. It is noted that the contributions of electrons trapped in the midst of the whistler wave train and those trapped at the wavefront are equally important, and that velocity distribution function deformation is caused both by trapped and by untrapped electrons that are perturbed by a whistler-triggering wave. The pulse length dependence of rising or falling tone characteristics of triggered emission is interpreted in light of the present simulation results.
