Effects of Whistler Waves on Space Weather over Arecibo

Our several experiments conducted in 2004 and 2005/2006 have yielded interesting results published recently in one GRL and two JGR papers. They include three physical processes: (1) interactions of NAU whistlers with ionospheric plasmas [Labno et al., JGR, 2007], (2) NAU whistler-electron interactions in inner radiation belts [Pradipta et al., GRL, 2007], and (3) ionospheric turbulence over Arecibo triggered by Sumatra tsunami-launched gravity waves on December 26, 2004 [Lee et al., JGR, 2008]. Encouraged by these results, we propose to conduct experiments to further investigate ionospheric effects induced by NAU-launched 40.75 kHz whistler waves. Two phenomena will be investigated: (1) possible effects on spread F caused by NAU-triggered particle precipitation, and (2) backscattered NAU whistler waves interacting with ionospheric plasmas [please see attached proposal]. These experiments will be conducted primarily by three graduate students for their thesis research under the supervision of the two P.I.s.
