Transformation of acoustic waves in upper atmosphere
Abstract
The transformation of acoustic waves into electromagnetic oscillations in the plasma of the upper atmosphere is analyzed. It is demonstrated that acoustic oscillations in ionosphere in the presence of the gradients of gas temperature and electron concentration lead to plasma vortices that provide the generation of electromagnetic waves.
