    Multiflash whistlers in ELF-band observed at low latitude

    Multiflash whistler-like event in the ELF-band, observed during March 1998 at low latitude station Jammu, is reported. The most prominent feature of these events is the multiflash nature along with the decrease in frequency within a very short span of time resembling similar to terrestrial whistlers. The events have a significantly smaller time duration (0.5–3.5 s) than those reported earlier from high, mid and low latitudes and also display a diurnal maximum occurring around 09:30 h (IST). There have been similar reportings from other latitudes, but whistlers in the ELF-band with a multiflash nature along with a precursor emission have never been reported. Lightning seems to be the dominant source for the ELF whistlers reported here

    Effect of Solar Activity on Whistler Dispersion

    244-246Dispersion of the whistler observed at the low latitude station, Nainital, during Mar. 1971 has been compared with the solar radio emission at 245 MHz and the sunspot numbers. It is found that the whistler dispersion has a positive correlation with the solar activity, with a time lag of one day, while it has a negative correlation with the sunspot numbers. Also, the hourly variations of dispersion have been found to be somewhat periodic, with a period corresponding to the life-time of the whistler duct
