Origin of energetic electron precipitation >30 keV into the atmosphere [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2010 Energetic electrons are deposited into the atmosphere from Earth's inner magnetosphere, resulting in the production of odd nitrogen (NOx). During polar night, NOx can be transported to low altitudes, where it can destroy ozone, affecting the atmospheric radiation balance.

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Resonant interactions with whistler‐mode waves are one of the most important drivers for rapid energetic electron precipitation. In this letter, we study a conjunction event, where bursts of energetic electron precipitation (50–800 keV) with timescales ...

Spatial extent of the energetic electron precipitation region during substorms
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The spatial coverage of the energetic electron precipitation (EEP) region during three substorms has been determined using a combination of ground-based instruments in North America.

Electron Microbursts Induced by Nonducted Chorus Waves
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Microbursts, short-lived but intense electron precipitation observed by low-Earth-orbiting satellites, may contribute significantly to the losses of energetic electrons in the outer radiation belt. Their origin is likely due to whistler mode chorus waves,

A reexamination of latitudinal limits of substorm‐produced energetic electron precipitation [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2013 AbstractThe primary sources of energetic electron precipitation (EEP) which affect altitudes <100 km (>30 keV) are expected to be from the radiation belts and during substorms. EEP from the radiation belts should be restricted to locations between L = 1.5 and 8, while substorm‐produced EEP is expected to range from L = 4 to 9.5 during quiet ...

pyGPI5: A python D- and E-region chemistry and ionization model
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 We present a Python implementation of a D- and E-region chemistry and ionization code called pyGPI5. Particle precipitation that penetrates into the E- and D-region of the ionosphere-thermosphere causes significant enhancements of the electron density ...

Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Recently we proposed a spatio-temporal model of auroral absorption for isolated substorms based on linear prediction filter technique, which describes the precipitation effects as a sum of properly weighted and time-delayed contributions of short ...

Modeling of nonstationary electron precipitation by the whistler cyclotron instability [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1998 We study a simple self-consistent model of a whistler cyclotron maser derived from the full set of quasi-linear equations. We employ numerical calculations to demonstrate dependencies of pulsation regimes of whistler-mode wave interactions with ...

Energetic Electrons Near Europa From Juno JEDI Data
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Optical remote sensing observations have suggested that the top layer of Europa's icy surface is heavily affected by external weathering agents. To model and understand these effects, it is necessary to characterize the environment as fully as possible ...
