Coupling of micropulsation wave modes by the Coriolis force and centrifugal force in the Earth's equatorial plane has been considered. The analytical form of electric field is derived for a particular coupled wave mode. To study the variation of electric field with geocentric distance, numerical analyses have been made which are presented graphically.
