The paper describes the analysis of how variations of an impulse field going through the ionosphere influence the nonlinear processes in the plasma. It is concluded that the initial electromagnetic field significantly decreases as the impulse propagates through the ionosphere. That significantly reduces the number of effective collisions between electrons and neutral particles.References
