Observational Properties of Harmonic EMIC Waves: Statistical Study
Geophysical Research LettersElectromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are discrete electromagnetic emissions separated by multiple ion gyrofrequencies. Harmonic EMIC waves are defined as waves with a strong electric or magnetic field (or both) at the harmonics of the fundamental ...

Relativistic Electron Precipitation by EMIC Waves: Importance of Nonlinear Resonant Effects [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Relativistic electron losses in Earth's radiation belts are usually attributed to electron resonant scattering by electromagnetic waves. One of the most important wave modes for such scattering is the electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) mode. Within the

Confirmation of EMIC wave driven relativistic electron precipitation [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2016 Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are believed to be an important source of pitch angle scattering driven relativistic electron loss from the radiation belts. To date, investigations of this precipitation have been largely theoretical in nature,
