Scientific paper

The non-ducted whistler propagation in the inner magnetosphere is discussed using the broad-band VLF measurement on board the K-9M-26 rocket launched at 1703 hr JST on 24 August 1969 from Kagoshima Space Center (geomagnetic lat 20°N). A large number of whistlers which seemed to be two-hop whistlers originating in the northern hemisphere were observed. The main features of these whistlers are summarized: (1) their dispersion value is widely scattered in the range 55-75 sec1/2, (2) their frequency spectra show a broad maximum in the frequency range 2-5 kHz and higher frequency components are likely to disappear. Attempts are made to interpret these properties in terms of ducted or non-ducted propagation. It is then found from the ray tracing studies that the measurements are satisfactorily explained by non-ducted propagation in the inner magnetospheric model with latitudinal density gradient such as the equatorial anomaly.
