Short summary
The problems of reflection and transmission of a whistler wave incident in the nighttime ionosphere from above are considered. Numerical solutions of the wave equations for a typical condition of the lower ionosphere are found. The energy reflection coefficient and horizontal wave magnetic field on the ground surface are calculated. The obtained results are important for analysis of the ELF–VLF emission phenomena observed from both the satellites and the ground-based observatories.
