Abstract Resolving the mixture of natural plasma waves and persistent spacecraft interference is a fundamental challenge in space physics, as it obstructs the analysis of wave‐particle interactions and energy transport processes. Traditional signal decomposition methods often fail to adequately separate these components due to their time‐varying ...

Statistical Relationship Between Exohiss Waves and Plasmaspheric Hiss
AbstractBased on the Van Allen Probe A observations from 2013 to 2015, we show the statistical relationship between exohiss waves and plasmaspheric hiss. Both hiss and exohiss waves have higher occurrence rates on the dayside (MLT = 8–20) and are positively correlated.

Electron scattering by whistler‐mode ELF hiss in plasmaspheric plumes [PDF]
Nonadiabatic loss processes of radiation belt energetic electrons include precipitation loss to the atmosphere due to pitch‐angle scattering by various magnetospheric plasma wave modes. Here we consider electron precipitation loss due to pitch‐angle scattering by whistler‐mode ELF hiss in plasmaspheric plumes.

Enhanced radiation in the Earth's atmosphere can pose serious hazards to pilots, aircraft passengers, and commercial space travelers. Recent results have shown, statistically, that there is a strong correlation between dose rates observed by Automated ...

It is believed that galactic cosmic rays and solar energetic particles are the two major sources of ionizing radiation. However, the radiation source may also be due to relativistic electrons that are associated with precipitation from the Van Allen ...

Abstract Nowcasting and forecasting of the radiation environment in the Earth's lower atmosphere are critical for the safety of aircraft and spacecraft crews and passengers. Currently, this problem is addressed by employing statistical and physics‐based models that take into account particle transport and precipitation.

Radial diffusion simulations of the 20 September 2007 radiation belt dropout [PDF]
This is a study of a dropout of radiation belt electrons, associated with an isolated solar wind density pulse on 20 September 2007, as seen by the solid-state telescopes (SST) detectors on THEMIS (Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions ...

Abstract In May 2024, extraordinary solar activity triggered a powerful solar storm, impacting Earth and producing the extreme geomagnetic storm of 10‐11 May, the most intense since 2003. This had significant effects on the magnetosphere, leading to the creation of a new long‐lasting component of relativistic electrons and to flux changes in the South ...

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 ...

Abstract The 1–100 keV electron precipitation during storm time has been studied by applying the updated ELSPEC inversion method to field‐aligned electron density profiles measured by the EISCAT Tromsø radar at L = 6.5. The statistical properties of peak energy, total energy flux, and total number flux as a function of MLT have been studied for the two
