Scientists from the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) have identified a new type of electromagnetic wave that carries lightning energy from the ionosphere at low latitudes to the magnetosphere.
Previously, it was believed lightning energy entering the ionosphere remained trapped within this atmospheric layer and did not reach the radiation belts those zones of charged particles encircling our planet.
The discovery of the specularly reflected whistler wave further underscores the significance of lightning as a driver of electromagnetic activity.
