Unification of periodic fluctuations in high latitude geophysical phenomena

Abstract

The oscillatory nature of wave-particle interaction is proposed to be the source of non-local fluctuations in the electron energy. The energized electron flux when precipitated in the lower ionosphere gives rise to various geophysical phenomena. The time scale of energy oscillation is estimated and its validity is discussed with reference to observed time scales of various geophysical phenomena. © 1971.
