    Description: Experiments on wave-particle interactions using VLF whistler-mode waves injected into the magnetosphere from Antartica are described. The injected signals are single-frequency coherent waves whose amplitudes and frequencies may be changed slowly with time, or else two or more coherent wave trains transmitted simultaneously to determine the nature of the response to multifrequency excitation. The waves may be amplified 30 dB or more and may trigger intense emissions having bandwidths that vary from a few to several hundred Hertz. In most cases significant growth and triggering occur only when the driving signal is essentially monochromatic (bandwidth 10 Hz). If two frequencies are transmitted simultaneously the signal at the lower frequency tends to be suppressed by 20 dB or more. These results are interpreted in terms of a feedback interaction between the waves and counter-streaming cyclotron resonant electrons in a region several hundred wavelengths long, centered on the magnetic equator.

    Description: In a recent experiment, discrete VLF emissions from the magnetosphere were triggered by a transmitter at Siple Station in Antarctica. Spectrograms of these signals as received at the conjugate point, Roberval, Quebec, showed changes in slope, entrainments, and cutoffs at frequencies (several kilohertz) close to the harmonic induction lines from the local 60-Hz power system. This observation led to the suggestion that harmonic radiation from the power system enters the magnetosphere and interacts with the triggered emissions. New evidence supporting this suggestion has been found in spectrograms of simultaneous recordings made at Roberval and at Siple Station in Antarctica. It is shown that line radiation, near harmonics of 60 Hz, travels along the earth's magnetic field in the whistler mode and is received in the conjugate hemisphere at Siple Station. Echoing of the line radiation between Siple and Roberval is often observed. The magnetospheric lines are usually shifted in frequency by 20-30 Hz with respect to the adjacent induction line, but their spacings are near 120 Hz. They may trigger and cut off emissions as do signals from VLF transmitters.
