The Modelling of VLF Trimpis using both Finite Element and 3D Born modelling
The Modelling of VLF Trimpis using both Finite Element and 3D Born modelling
This paper investigates the numerical modelling of VLF Trimpis produced by a D region inhomogeneity on the Great Circle Path . Two different codes are used. The first is a 2D finite element method (FEM) code , whose solutions are rigorous and valid in the strong scattering or non-Born limit. The second code is a fully 3D model that invokes the Born approximation. The predicted Trimpis from these codes compare closely, thus confirming the validity of both models. The modal scattering matrices have a comparable structure, and indicate strong scattering between the dominant TM modes. Analysis of the scattering matrix from the FEM code delineates the Born regime. For a LIE with a radius of 100kms, the Born approximation becomes invalid at an electron density perturbation of about 8 el/cc.

Abstract
This paper investigates the numerical modelling of VLF Trimpis produced by a D region inhomogeneity on the Great Circle Path . Two different codes are used. The first is a 2D finite element method (FEM) code , whose solutions are rigorous and valid in the strong scattering or non-Born limit. The second code is a fully 3D model that invokes the Born approximation. The predicted Trimpis from these codes compare closely, thus confirming the validity of both models. The modal scattering matrices have a comparable structure, and indicate strong scattering between the dominant TM modes. Analysis of the scattering matrix from the FEM code delineates the Born regime. For a LIE with a radius of 100kms, the Born approximation becomes invalid at an electron density perturbation of about 8 el/cc.
