Abstract

In the set of VLF data from the Interkosmos-14 satellite (launched on 11 December 1975 with apogee height of 1707 km, perigee 345 km and inclination 74°) as received in direct telemetry transmissions at the Observatory Panska Ves (Czechoslovakia), ion cyclotron whistlers were found at unusually high geomagnetic latitudes. These whistlers indicate a marked decrease of proton density in the close vicinity of the satellite with increasing geomagnetic latitude. It appeared, moreover, that proton whistlers at higher geomagnetic latitudes even sensitively reflected the rapid changes of plasma parameters within the region of the mid-latitude trough of light ions.
