Combined model of topside ionosphere and plasmasphere derived from radio-occultation and Van Allen Probes data [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 In the last years, electron density profile functions characterized by a linear dependence on the scale height showed good results when approximating the topside ionosphere. The performance above 800 km, however, is not yet well investigated.

New formulation for the topside ionosphere and plasmasphere based on NeQuick
Journal of Space Weather and Space ClimateThe total electron content (TEC) affecting signal propagation of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) is strongly influenced by the topside ionosphere and plasmasphere. This study introduces a new approach to representing the two regions.

Van Allen Probes observation of plasmaspheric hiss modulated by injected energetic electrons [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2018 Plasmaspheric hiss was observed by Van Allen Probe B in association with energetic electron injections in the outer plasmasphere. The energy of injected electrons coincides with the minimum resonant energy calculated for the observed hiss wave ...

PINE-RT: An operational real-time plasmasphere model
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 The plasmasphere is a region of cold and dense plasma around the Earth, corotating with the Earth. Its plasma density is very dynamic under the influence of the solar wind and it influences several processes such as the GPS navigation, the surface ...

The plasmasphere of Neptune [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 1998 We examine the plausible existence of Neptune's plasmasphere and study the drift of particles inside it. Using the O8 magnetic field model [Connerney et al., 1991] and assuming a uniform solar wind convection electric field, the plasma convection time and refilling time are calculated in a Euler potential coordinate system [Ho el al., 1997]. The plasma

A coordinated ground-based and IMAGE satellite study of quiet-time plasmaspheric density profiles [PDF]
, 2003 Cold plasma mass density profiles in the plasmasphere have been determined for the geomagnetically quiet day of 19th August 2000 using the cross-phase technique applied to ground-based magnetometer data from the SAMNET, IMAGE and BGS magnetometer arrays.

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 Hiss waves play an important role in removing energetic electrons from Earth’s radiation belts by precipitating them into the upper atmosphere. Compared to plasmaspheric hiss that has been studied extensively, the evolution and effects of plume hiss are ...

Electron loss rates from the outer radiation belt caused by the filling of the outer plasmasphere: The calm before the storm [PDF]
, 2009 Measurements from seven spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit are analyzed to determine the decay rate of the number density of the outer electron radiation belt prior to the onset of high-speed-stream-driven geomagnetic storms.
