THE TRANSMISSION OF GEOMAGNETIC MICROPULSATIONS THROUGH THE IONOSPHERE AND LOWER EXOSPHERE

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0615164 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report is part of RANDs continuing interest in the detection of high-altitude nuclear explosions. In particular, it is concerned with low- frequency hydromagnetic waves similar to those generated by such explosions, and which are detected by ground-current measurements at world-wide locations. In this report, attention is directed to the response of the ionosphere to such low-frequency hydromagnetic disturbances. The purpose is to separate the effects of the medium from those of the source on the transmitted disturbance.
