Nonlinear effects for the electronic and ionic cyclotron modes propagating in the magnetosphere are studied by using the Vlasov equation; the frequency shift is deduced to the third order.Going to the case of a cold plasma for the whistler mode, we find that frequency shift vanishes, a result in agreement with Tidman and Stainer, based on the moments equations, but in contradiction with Watanabe's results derived from the Vlasov equation.For the hydromagnetic waves the effect does exist, but is not sufficient to explain the frequency–time displays ("sonagrams") of the so-called "pearl" events.

The problem concerning the appropriate form for the nonlinear frequency shift arising from slow density modulations of electrostatic surface waves in a semi-infinite unmagnetized plasma is reconsidered. The spatial dependence of the wave amplitude normal to the surface is kept general in order to allow for possible nonlinear attenuation behaviour of the surface waves. It is found that if the frequency shift is expressed as a function of the density and its gradient then the result is identical with that of Zhelyazkov (1987b), who assumed a linear exponential attenuation behaviour.
