| Biographical/Historical | The Siple experiment was a Stanford, National Science Foundation (NSF) funded, very low frequency (VLF)- triggered emission experiment that took place from 1973 to 1988. Siple Station was established to perform experiments that actively probed the magnetosphere using VLF waves. The objective of the Siple transmitter was to produce various formats, which allowed for controlled experiments to answer specific questions regarding triggered emissions. The observed data after transmission included many unexplained phenomena. Some of the more obvious phenomena includes (but not limited to): rising and falling emissions, wave growth, entrainment, and multiple-hop echos. |
