Power line radiation: Possible evidence of van der Pol oscillations in the magnetosphere
Journal Article
·
· Geophys. Res. Lett.; (United States)
We show that the principal observational features of power line radiation in the magnetosphere can be described as a van der Pol oscillation subject to incomplete entrainment by an externally injected signal. The nonlinear mechanism is referred to as ''periodic pulling'' and has been observed in laboratory low-temperature plasma experiments.
