Abstract
A boundary-value problem of a concentric spherical system involving anisotropic media is considered. Rather gross simplifications are made in order to achieve tractability and yield physical insight. The principal idealization is the representation of the concentric plasma layer by a thin shell of ionization. The derived results have some relevance to the phenomenon of resonance in the concentric cavity formed by the earth and the ionosphere. For example, it is shown that the earth's magnetic field and the electron collisions both contribute to the damping of the cavity resonances.
