Abstract
In Chap. 5, the propagation of SLF/ELF electromagnetic waves in the anisotropic ionosphere is treated analytically and numerically. Considering that the main parameters of the ionosphere, including electron and ion densities, electron and ion collision frequencies, changed significantly with the height above the Earth’s surface, and their changes along the horizontal direction are relatively slowly, the ionosphere can be regarded as a horizontally stratified anisotropic plasma for the SLF/ELF electromagnetic waves. Finally, we give some new numerical results and discussions. Those works are useful in the study of SLF/ELF wave propagation in the lower ionosphere.
