Summary

Using methods of numerical modelling of the propagation of ULF waves through the ionosphere, the characteristics of the vertical flux of electromagnetic energy are analysed in the ULF range — at the outer boundary of the modelled ionosphere (altitude 1000 km) the reflexibility and penetrability of the energy, at the Earth's surface the transmissivity of the energy. The existence of two frequency bands is proved within the ULF range with different forms of ionospheric wave filtration: a) The band of extremely low frequencies, f<0.1–0.2 Hz (pc3–5 and Pc2 pulsation ranges) with a mirroring effect of the ionosphere-Earth system, but with small absorption; b) the band f>0.2 Hz (the Pc1 range) with increased absorption, but with resonance “windows” and wave emissions with a very well defined frequency structure.
