Energetic, relativistic and ultra-relativistic electrons: Comparison of long-term VERB code simulations with Van Allen Probes measurements [PDF]

, 2015
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 ...

Triggered Plasmaspheric Hiss: Rising Tone Structures

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
AbstractIn this study, a rare hiss event observed by Van Allen Probe is reported and the possible generation is investigated based on wave and plasma measurements. The results suggest that the normal hiss (from 0.05fce to 0.5fce) with dominantly equatorward Poynting fluxes is locally generated by plasma sheet electrons via cyclotron instability.

Simulation study on parametric dependence of whistler-mode hiss generation in the plasmasphere

Earth, Planets and Space, 2021
We conduct electromagnetic particle simulations to examine the applicability of nonlinear wave growth theory to the generation process of plasmaspheric hiss. We firstly vary the gradient of the background magnetic field from a realistic model to a rather

Reconciling conflicting accounts of plasmaspheric hiss [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012
Arcing from pole to pole, the Van Allen radiation belts are formed from a large number of protons or electrons trapped high above the Earth, the high‐energy particles locked in paths dictated by the terrestrial magnetic field. Separating the outer electron Van Allen belt from the inner belt is the so‐called slot region, a safe zone with reduced ...

Temporal variability of quasi-linear pitch-angle diffusion

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Kinetic wave-particle interactions in Earth’s outer radiation belt energize and scatter high-energy electrons, playing an important role in the dynamic variation of the extent and intensity of the outer belt.

Amplification of whistler‐mode hiss inside the plasmasphere [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2012
Chorus generated outside the plasmasphere has been suggested to be the source of plasmaspheric hiss. A detailed evaluation of the propagation and Landau damping of chorus waves can account for most of the properties of dayside hiss, but the intensity is underestimated by 10–20 dB compared to the observed hiss intensity.

The interactions between ULF waves and cold charged particles in the Earth's magnetosphere

地球与行星物理论评, 2022
In the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling processes, many kinds of plasma waves can be excited in the Earth's magnetosphere including ULF waves, hiss waves, chorus waves, etc. Among these waves, ULF waves are featured by the lowest wave frequency (1 mHz～1

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.

Bursty Precipitation of Relativistic Electrons Unveiled by CIRBE/REPTile‐2 Measurements and Their Physical Implications

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Energetic electron precipitation plays a pivotal role in shaping Earth's radiation belt dynamics and drives significant physical and chemical changes in the upper atmosphere. However, the detailed mechanisms governing the loss of relativistic electrons have remained unclear, largely due to the limited energy coverage and coarse resolution of ...

Quasi-linear simulations of inner radiation belt electron pitch angle and energy distributions [PDF]

, 2016
“Peculiar” or “butterfly” electron pitch angle distributions (PADs), with minima near 90°, have recently been observed in the inner radiation belt. These electrons are traditionally treated by pure pitch angle diffusion, driven by plasmaspheric hiss ...
