Abstract

We have analyzed characteristics of electric components of the auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) detected onboard of two satellites, in the Earth’s inner magnetosphere (ERG) and in the solar wind (WIND). It is shown that spectra are modified as the result of AKR the propagation in plasma channels — high frequencies are suppressed. The computer simulation confirms experiments.
