Some aspects of ion-acoustic whistlers in the ionosphere in the presence of negative ions
A study is made of the propagation of ion-acoustic whistlers in the atmosphere including the effects of negative ions. The dispersion relation, phase and group velocities of whistlers are discussed. It is shown that the presence of negative ions introduces a critical frequency which, for equal ionic...
