Hughes and Rice, JASTP, 59, 10, 1997 ● whistlers crossed the ionosphere fall in two distinct classes ● their dispersion values strongly depend on magnetic latitude of the satellite, (and on other factors, like LT too…) Δ day ○ night

L=1.08 equator very simplified cartoon for VLF wave propagation in the ionosphere ● waves reach the satellite along paths with minimum propagation time; this is represented by the path between the shortest, but high angle (vertical) and the longer, field aligned (longitudinal) directions
L=1.08 equator intropical regions the magnetic field governed propagation topology is symmetric ● at equatorial and low magnetic latitudes occurrences of fractional-hop whistlers with two dispersion classes are expected
