pyrfu.mms.whistler_b2e module#
- pyrfu.mms.whistler_b2e.whistler_b2e(b2, freq, theta_k, b_mag, n_e)[source]#
Computes electric field power as a function of frequency for whistler waves using magnetic field power and cold plasma theory.
- Parameters:
b2 (xarray.DataArray) – Time series of the power of whistler magnetic field in nT^2 Hz^{-1}.
freq (ndarray) – frequencies in Hz corresponding B2.
theta_k (float) – wave-normal angle of whistler waves in radians.
b_mag (xarray.DataArray) – Time series of the magnitude of the magnetic field in nT.
n_e (xarray.DataArray) – Time series of the electron number density in cm^{-3}.
- Returns:
e2 – Time series of the electric field power.
- Return type:
