Whistler waves observed by the DEMETER spacecraft
Záhlava, Jan ; Němec, František (advisor) ; Macúšová, Eva (referee)
Although lightning-generated whistlers have been studied for nearly a century, there are still questions to be answered. It is clear that, at least in a certain frequency range, these waves significantly contribute to the overall wave intensity in the inner magnetosphere. They also influence distribution functions of energetic particles in the Van Allen radiation belts. Thanks to the on-board implemented neural network for automated whistler detection, we can relate electromagnetic wave and energetic particle flux measurements performed by the low-altitude DEMETER spacecraft with the number and dispersion of whistlers detected during a certain time interval. We distinguish the cases with high and low whistler occurrence and we use this information to determine the overall effect of lightning-generated whistlers. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Frequencies of attenuation in the power spectra observed by the DEMETER spacecraft
Záhlava, Jan ; Němec, František (advisor) ; Sochorová, Zuzana (referee)
Předmětem bakalářské práce je analýza zvláštních efekt· pozorovaných ve frekvenčně-časových spektrogramech změřených družicí DEMETER v pásmu velmi nízkých frekvencí. Jedná se o periodické utlumení frekvenční závislosti elektrické intenzity, které se spojitě mění v čase. Při detailním zkoumání se ukazuje, že jsou tyto útlumové události tvořeny z hvizd· pocházejících z bleskových emisí. Porovnání závislosti doby trvání útlumových událostí na geomagnetické délce s délkovou závislostí četnosti výskytu blesk· ukazuje, že jsou útlumové události posunuty oproti blesk·m přibližně o 30◦ západním směrem. Podařilo se nám vysvětlit tento posun a vytvořit jednoduchý model možného formování útlumových událostí založený na módové teorii šíření vln ve vlnovodu. 1

Studium elektromagnetických emisí pozorovaných družicí DEMETER

David PÍŠA Study of electromagnetic emissions recorded by the DEMETER satellite Abstract : This thesis presents results based on wave measurements performed by the DEMETER space- craft. This French spacecraft was operating between 2004 and 2010 at the altitude of ∼660 km. We focus on measurements of the electromagnetic waves and plasma density in the vicinity of imminent earthquakes. In the first part, we present a study of plasma density variations in the vicinity of a very powerful earthquake in Chile (Mw 8.8) which occurred on February 27, 2010. Data recorded before the main shock along orbits close to the future epicenter showed increasing plasma den- sities. A statistical analysis using 4 years of data to monitor density variations under similar conditions has been performed. This study shows that a large increase of the plasma density is very uncommon at this location. In the second part, a statistical study (∼6.5 years) of variations of VLF wave intensity is shown. We have analyzed all available data measured close (in time and space) to large earth- quakes (M≥5). Data related to more than 12000 earthquakes have been compared with an unperturbed background distribution. We confirm the previously reported results of a statis- tically significant decrease of the wave intensity at frequencies of about...
