Abstract
Equations of motion for small-amplitude plasma oscillations interacting with the electromagnetic field in slowly varying density or temperature gradients are set up. We then make a calculation of the radio noise excited by a wave packet of plasma oscillations traversing such gradients using the WKB approximation. A similar calculation is also made for a density discontinuity.Keywords
