Abstract
Whistler precursors observed during day time at low latitude ground st ation Gulmarg (Geomag. Lat. 24 degrees 10' N) and their morphological features are reported. Transverse resonance interaction between whistl er mode wave and counter streaming energetic electrons as the probable generation mechanism has been worked out. Minimum anisotropy required for wave amplification, parallel energy of resonating electrons and w ave growth rate relevant to generation mechanism is studied.
