Detected were induced proton precipitations from the inner radiation belt went with almost a half (11) of 25 anomalous electron events registered onboard “Meteor-M №2” satellite in 2014−2022 in Oceania at low latitudes in the morning hours of local time under quiet geomagnetic conditions. It is surmised that such proton precipitations could be a manifestation of cyclotron resonance between protons and low frequency electromagnetic waves stimulated by a mobile ionospheric heater. Observed effects in anomalous electron events, which could be interpreted in the framework of a mobile ionospheric heater concept, are also discussed.

Зафиксированы события индуцированных высыпаний протонов из внутреннего радиационного пояса, сопровождавшие примерно половину (11) из 25 аномальных электронных высыпаний, зарегистрированных с борта ИСЗ “Метеор-М № 2” в 2014−2022 гг. в Океании в низких широтах в утренние часы местного времени в спокойных геомагнитных условиях. Предполагается, что такие события могли бы быть спровоцированы попаданием протонов в циклотронный резонанс с низкочастотным излучением, стимулированным в ионосфере плавучим нагревным стендом. Также обсуждаются наблюдаемые эффекты в аномальных электронных высыпаниях, которые можно интерпретировать в рамках концепции плавучего нагревного стенда.
