Study of propagation characteristics of very low latitude whistlers by means of three-dimensional ray-tracing computations

The propagation mechanism of very low latitude (geomagnetic latitudes of less than 10–15°) whistlers is poorly understood. There is a controversy on their propagation; some workers using the observational facts have suggested field‐aligned propagation, but some theoretical (ray tracing) works have a...
