About this ebook

Wave cataloguing suitable for ray tracing of a pulsed wave packet in a weakly-dissipative, horizontallystratified magnetoionic medium is described, Particular attention is devoted to the cataloguing of the various characteristic waves so that the influence of the local ionization density and collision frequency can be understood. The procedure presented is applicable under general incident conditions and complex refractive index surfaces. The Booker quartic equation is used to derive the unambiguous wave normals and wave identification is obtained from the dispersion equation. A modified CMA. diagram including collisions is illustrated. (Author).
