LANDAU DAMPING OF TRANSVERSE WAVES IN THE EXOSPHERE BY FAST PARTICLE FLUXES. Technical Note BN-277

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4817547
The Landau damping of transverse waves propagating in the thermal exospheric plasma by fast particle fluxes which also exist in these regions was also investigated. The most intense non-thermal fluxes so far detected are those of the auroral produeing electrons and protons measured by McIlwain. lt was found that these fluxes may considerably damp the propagation of whistler modes through some regions. The damping of hydromagnetic waves in the exosphere by this mechanism is negligible. (auth)
