Scientific paper

Three different methods of determining the wave normal direction of whistler mode waves are applied to seven pulses emitted by the Omega Navigation System transmitter in Norway and received on the GEOS 1 satellite. The three methods are the cross product method, Means' method, and the maximum entropy method of determination of the wave distribution function. The methods and their results are discussed in the context of the statistical parameters of the observed signals. Some recommendations are made concerning the best choice of method in given situations. The wave normals are found to have angles about 130 degrees with the earth's magnetic field direction, pointing slightly eastward of the local magnetic meridian. They exhibit a time variation with a 0.2 to 0.4 second periodicity.
