Abstract:

The phenomenon of spatial and temporal modulation of intensity of light pillars, observed in high latitudes simultaneously with Earth magnetic field perturbations and aurora flames, is attributed to the ice particle orientation under influence of electromagnetic radio waves, generated in the ionosphere.
