... Direct interactions of 40.75 kHz whistlers with ionospheric plasmas can excite lower hybrid waves to accelerate electrons and, subsequently, yield enhanced plasma lines with rather broad frequency spectra. In contrast, whistler waves propagating from the ionosphere into magnetsophere will interact and precipitate trapped energetic electrons from the inner radiation belts into the lower ionosphere, generating enhanced plasma lines with realtively narrow frequency spectra. ...
