Popis: It is investigated theoretically the nonlinear down-conversion of powerful extremely low frequency (ELF) modulated acoustic wave beams at the carrier frequencies 1–20 Hz into ultra-low frequency (ULF) acoustic waves at the frequencies 0.01–0.1 Hz under the propagation upwards within the atmosphere and ionosphere. The approximation of the slowly varying profile is used. It is shown that under a fixed value of the integral power of the initial acoustic ELF beam there exists the optimal value of the initial transverse width where the maximum down-conversion is realized. The different types of the modulation are considered, namely the simplest two-frequency modulation and multifrequency noise-like one. The using of the complex multifrequency modulation results in the increase of the efficiency of the down-conversion within the ionosphere E- and F-layers.
