Magnetospherically reflected whistlers as a source of plasmaspheric hiss

Geophysical Research Letters, 1992
Ray‐tracing simulations and estimates of whistler wave damping show that magnetospherically reflected whistlers can persist for ∼102 s in a low frequency band (ƒ ∼1 kHz). The combined contribution from whistler rays produced by a single lightning flash but entering the magnetosphere at different points form a continuous hiss‐like signal, as observed at

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.

Aircraft Ionizing Radiation Exposure for Solar Cycle 24/25 From ARMAS and NAIRAS

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Exposure to ionizing radiation from galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles at aviation flight altitudes can have an adverse effect on human health. Although airline crews are classified as radiation workers by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), in most countries, their level of exposure is unquantified ...

Frequency‐Drifting Plasmaspheric Hiss: A Statistical Study From the Van Allen Probes Data

Geophysical Research Letters
Plasmaspheric hiss, a whistler‐mode emission confined in the high‐density plasmasphere, is of great interest to the space community attributed to its important role in inner magnetospheric dynamics.

Distinct Formation and Evolution Characteristics of Outer Radiation Belt Electron Butterfly Pitch Angle Distributions Observed by Van Allen Probes

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Using Van Allen Probes pitch angle‐resolved electron flux data, we report intriguing events of electron butterfly pitch angle distributions (PADs) at L > ~5.5 on the nightside with distinct durations, i.e., about 9 hr for the 28–29 April 2013 event and ...

Plasmaspheric High‐Frequency Whistlers as a Candidate Cause of Shock Aurora at Earth

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Auroral brightening driven by interplanetary shocks on Earth's closed magnetic field lines is commonly attributed to the 0.1–10 keV electron precipitations by electron cyclotron harmonic waves and whistler‐mode chorus waves in the low‐density region.

Observing the Earth's Plasmasphere and Ionosphere From the Lunar Surface

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract We present the analysis of the first lunar‐based observational characterization of the Earth's plasmasphere and ionosphere using Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals tracked from the lunar surface by the Lunar GNSS Receiver Experiment (LuGRE). The Earth‐Moon geometry enables limb sounding of the plasmasphere at altitudes exceeding 3,000

Electron Scattering by Highly Oblique Quasi‐Electrostatic Chorus Waves Under Realistic Magnetospheric Conditions

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Using Van Allen Probes data (2013–2015), we report that highly oblique chorus waves frequently occur in low‐density regions where fpe/fce≈3 ${f}_{\text{pe}}/{f}_{\text{ce}}\approx 3$. These waves exhibit an electric‐to‐magnetic energy ratio PE/c2PB>0.5 $\sqrt{{P}_{\mathrm{E}}/{c}^{2}{P}_{\mathrm{B}}} > 0.5$, much higher than the typical <0.1 ${
