Whistler-mode waves propagating to ground stations along geomagnetic-ΓΏeld-aligned paths provide powerful tools for investigating bulk motions of the magnetospheric plasma and thus the corresponding convection electric ΓΏelds. Natural whistlers from lightning as well as signals from very low frequency
We study the generation of plasmaspheric electric ΓΏelds and currents caused by di erential rotation of inhomogeneously conducting plasma envelope together with a magnetized planet (a planetary generator model). The solution of the ΓΏrst considered model problem describing a plasmasphere ow with a dis
