Nonlinear stage of the modulational instability of a whistler wave: Pt. 1
Description
The development of the modulational instability of a whistler wave is investigated in the linear and subsequent nonlinear stages. It is shown that some predictions of the linear theory remain valid up to the time when the wave amplitude modulation rate is of the order of unity. (author)
