Abstract

A technique for analyzing the polarization properties of plane waves that offers a number of advantages over methods currently used in the analysis of both ground and satellite observations of waves is developed. This technique reduces the computations required to find the wave normal vector, is less sensitive to common noise sources, and is amenable to analog implementation. The technique here is applied specifically to the analysis of a proton whistler, but it can also be used in most studies of ULF, ELF, and VLF magnetic-wave phenomena.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
