Abstract Earth's radiation belts are the regions where highly energetic charged particles are trapped by Earth's magnetic field, posing significant risks to the satellites and other space‐based technologies. Understanding the dynamics of the radiation belts is critical not only for advancing fundamental plasma physics but also for predicting and ...

A new radar system implemented on June 22, 1987, in Denver, Colo., will make possible much more detailed and timely forecasting of thunderstorms and microbursts, according to Jim Wilson of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colo.

The Bayesian sinking in Porticello: a predictable convective windstorm?
The meteorological phenomenon that led to the Bayesian yacht sinking in Sicily at 0206 utc on 19 August 2024 is here investigated. A thunderstorm occurred during the sinking, but uncertainties exist regarding whether a waterspout or a downburst affected the ship. An in‐depth analysis of available observations highlighted that the ship was likely struck

Abstract The precipitation of tens to hundreds of keV electrons from Earth's magnetosphere plays a crucial role in magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling, primarily driven by chorus wave scattering. Most existing simulations of electron precipitation rely on test particle models that neglect particle feedback on waves.

Characteristics of Sonoran Desert Microbursts
Abstract During the 2008 North American monsoon season, 140 microburst events were identified in Phoenix, Arizona, and the surrounding Sonoran Desert. The Sonoran microbursts were studied and examined for their frequency and characteristics, as observed from data collected from three Doppler radars and electrical power infrastructure ...

Abstract Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are commonly observed electromagnetic emissions in Earth's magnetosphere and are widely considered to efficiently scatter relativistic electrons into bounce loss cones. However, their precise scattering effects remain highly debated due to limited energy coverage and coarse resolution of previous ...

A study of the 23 October 2022 southern England damaging MCS
During the afternoon of 23 October 2022, a mesoscale convective system (MCS) developed and intensified over the English Channel and tracked north‐northeastward into southern England, producing widespread damaging winds and at least three moderate to strong tornadoes in Hampshire.

Relativistic surfatron process for Landau resonant electrons in radiation belts [PDF]
Recent theoretical studies of the nonlinear wave-particle interactions for relativistic particles have shown that Landau resonant orbits could be efficiently accelerated along the mean background magnetic field for propagation angles $\theta$ in close ...

Microburst Detection Using Agent Networks
Automatic detection of microbursts with Doppler radar data is an interesting challenge. Traditionally, manual detection is performed by trained meteorologists who scan through the volumetric radar data for appropriate signatures, bringing to bear human powers of pattern detection and analysis.

Parametric Dependence of Linear and Nonlinear Growth of Whistler‐Mode Chorus Waves
Abstract We calculated the linear and nonlinear growth rates of whistler‐mode chorus waves with relativistic treatment across different wave frequencies and investigated their dependence on the associated parameters, including background magnetic field strength, cold electron density, and energetic electron temperature.
