CONTENTS Introduction 743 1. Observational Data on Natural Low-Frequency Radio Emission 744 a) Whistlers 745 Dispersion. Long and short whistlers. Multiple whistlers. Nose whistlers. Discharges that generate whistlers. Experimental data on the trajectories of whistlers. Systematic variations of properties of whistlers. Observation of whistlers in the IGY program. b) Very Low Frequency Emissions 749 Systematic classification of observed VLF noise. Certain features of discrete radiation. Method of propagation.
