Description
Lightning induced whistler waves are one of the primary drivers of energetic particle loss from the the Earth's radiation belts. WWLLN data is used to create a model of the distribution of lightning in geomagnetic coordinates and derive the flux and spectrum of VLF whistler waves incident on the ionosphere.
