Concerning one type of phase anomaly of VLF signals on auroral paths
Abstract
An analysis is presented of VLF phase anomalies on Norway-Apatity radio paths occurring under quiet geophysical conditions. The duration of the anomalies fluctuates from several minutes to 0.5-1.0 hours, and their characteristic value is 3-6 microsec. It is shown that these anomalies are most probably caused by the precipitation of relativistic electrons.
