The path of NLK whistler-mode signals received at Wellington
Abstract
VLF whistler-mode signals transmitted from NLK in Seattle and received at Wellington, New Zealand, were found to travel mainly along magnetic field lines near Wellington ( L ~ 2.3) rather than those near Seattle ( L ~ 3.0). This is found to be explicable in terms of the expected attenuation for the subionospheric part of the path together with the guiding to be expected from likely duct enhancements.
