| Abstract: | The large-amplitude whistler wave propagating at an angle to the external magnetic field is shown to decay parametrically into another whistler wave and a “cold” ion-Bernstein wave. The expressions for threshold pump power and growth rate are obtained. A possible application of this parametric process to the magnetospheric plasma is discussed. |
