The ground-based and satellite observations included an interesting event for which both observed similar VLF waves. In this study, we theoretically calculate down-going whistler-mode wave propagation based on ground-satellite observations using the full-wave analysis. In a case study, the observed wave-normal angles were approximately 140-160 degrees for a dayside chorus event on 15 March 2006. The theoretical calculation showed that the wave-normal angles for ionosphericpenetration should be around 155.6 degrees, with its angular width of approximately 2 degrees. Moreover, the wave-energy loss due to ionospheric penetration is estimated at 20.4 dB based on our theoretical calculation, in accordance with the observed 17-19 dB., ホイスラモード波の電離層透過特性を詳細に調べるために、2006年南極において地上とあけぼの衛星によるVLF(数百Hz~17.8 kHz)帯の自然電磁波動の同時観測を行った。この観測において、地上とあけぼの衛星で波動強度の周波数特性がよく似た自然VLF波動のイベントを得た。本研究では、この同時観測結果に基づきfull-wave解析を用いることによって理論的にホイスラモードの下降伝搬を計算している。事例解析として2006年3月15日のコーラスの同時観測イベントに対して、あけぼの衛星で観測された波動伝搬ベクトルは140~160度に分布した。一方で理論計算では、電離層透過のための波動伝搬ベクトルは155.6度、その角度幅約2度になる必要があるという結果を得た。さらに、電離層透過に対する波動エネルギーの減衰は、観測値の17~19 dBに一致して理論計算では20.4 dBと推定された。}, pages = {431--441}, title = {Simultaneous ground-based and satellite observations of natural VLF waves in Antarctica: A case study of downward ionospheric penetration of whistler-mode waves}, volume = {4}, year = {2010} }
