Generation of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in the ionosphere by localized transverse dc electric fields

Localized dc electric fields directed perpendicular to the geomagnetic field are studied as a possible ionospheric source of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves. The eigenvalue formulation of the problem is solved numerically and a class of unstable electromagnetic ion cyclotron eigenmodes are found...
