Competing source and loss mechanisms due to wave-particle interactions in Earth’s outer radiation belt during the 30 September to 3 October 2012 geomagnetic storm [PDF]
Drastic variations of Earth’s outer radiation belt electrons ultimately result from various competing source, loss, and transport processes, to which wave-particle interactions are critically important.

Nonlinear Electron Interactions With Intense VLF Waves From Transmitters
Abstract The impact on electron lifetimes of nonlinear interactions with the most intense very low frequency (VLF) waves from transmitters has hitherto been neglected in radiation belt codes. Here, we show the presence of a small population of intense wave packets, originating from ground‐based VLF transmitters and reaching 10 mV/m around the magnetic ...

Wide-banded NTC radiation: local to remote observations by the four Cluster satellites [PDF]
The Cluster multi-point mission offers a unique collection of non-thermal continuum (NTC) radio waves observed in the 2–80 kHz frequency range over almost 15 years, from various view points over the radiating plasmasphere.

Energetic, relativistic and ultra-relativistic electrons: Comparison of long-term VERB code simulations with Van Allen Probes measurements [PDF]
In this study, we compare long-term simulations performed by the Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB) code with observations from the Magnetic Electron Ion Spectrometer and Relativistic Electron-Proton Telescope instruments on the Van Allen Probes ...

Monitoring the plasmapause dynamics at LEO
<p>In the past decades researchers have revealed links between a series of sub-auroral ionospheric phenomena and the plasmapause (PP) dynamics, such as the mid-latitude ionospheric trough (MIT) and the associated sub-auroral temperature enhancement (SETE), the light-ion trough (LIT), the sub-auroral ion drift (SAID) or the more intense ...

Equatorial Propagation of the Magnetosonic Mode Across the Plasmapause: 2‐D PIC Simulations
Recent studies have indicated that fast magnetosonic waves (also referred to as equatorial noise) excited far outside the plasmapause cannot propagate deep into the plasmasphere because of the preferential azimuthal propagation of the waves at the source

Global Validation of the Data‐Assimilative VERB‐3D Code for the Radiation Belts
Abstract Electrons within Earth's radiation belts exhibit large variability in space and time during geomagnetic storms, which could potentially damage satellites and harm astronauts in space. Physics‐based models describe the evolution of energetic electrons in the radiation belts, but they may suffer from uncertainties and errors, particularly in the

Abstract The center of the South American Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA), located in southern Brazil, is characterized by enhanced energetic particle precipitation (EPP) at low energies (<40 keV), which can significantly impact the ionosphere during intense geomagnetic storms.

The structure of field line resonances in a dipole magnetosphere with moving plasma [PDF]
A theoretical model of field line resonance in the magnetosphere with a dipole magnetic field and moving plasma was constructed. Motion of medium was simulated by its azimuthal rotation.
