Modeling the properties of plasmaspheric hiss: 2. Dependence on the plasma density distribution [PDF]

, 2012
Wave propagation plays an important role in linking the chorus source in the plasma trough region and the hiss emission in the plasmasphere. We investigate the dependence of plasmaspheric hiss on the background plasma density, which essentially controls ...

Statistical Characteristics of Electron Precipitation During HSS‐ and ICME‐Driven Storms Observed by the EISCAT Radar

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
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

Global Morphology of Chorus Waves in the Outer Radiation Belt and the Effect of Geomagnetic Activity and fpe ${f}_{pe}$/fce ${f}_{ce}$

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Whistler‐mode chorus waves play a key role in driving radiation belt dynamics by enabling both acceleration of electrons to relativistic energies as well as their loss into the atmosphere via pitch‐angle scattering. The ratio between the electron plasma frequency (fpe ${f}_{pe}$) and the electron gyrofrequency (fce ${f}_{ce}$) significantly ...

Multi‐Species Energy‐Banded Ions in the Ionosphere During the 21 January 2005 Magnetic Storm: Low‐Altitude Edge of the Warm Plasma Cloak

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract During the 21–22 January 2005 magnetic storm, the FAST satellite observed warm (< few keV) ions in discrete energy bands on the dayside at ∼3,000 km altitude for more than 6.5 hr. We suggest that the ionospheric energy‐banded ions represent the low‐altitude edge of the warm plasma cloak observed simultaneously by magnetospheric satellites ...

Local Generation of High‐Frequency Plasmaspheric Hiss Observed by Van Allen Probes

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
The generation of a high‐frequency plasmaspheric hiss (HFPH) wave observed by Van Allen Probes is studied in this letter for the first time. The wave has a moderate power spectral density (∼10−6 nT2/Hz), with a frequency range extended from 2 to 10 kHz ...

Enhanced Radiation Exposure of Airline Crew and Passengers During the May 2024 Geomagnetic Storm

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Enhanced radiation at aviation altitudes is a concern for flight crew and passengers. During space weather events, solar flares and coronal mass ejection (CME) driven shocks are sources of energetic particles that can reach Earth's near‐space environment and interact with its magnetic field and atmosphere.

An unusual enhancement of low‐frequency plasmaspheric hiss in the outer plasmasphere associated with substorm‐injected electrons

, 2013
[1] Both plasmaspheric hiss and chorus waves were observed simultaneously by the two Van Allen Probes in association with substorm-injected energetic electrons.

Outer Radiation Belt Dynamics During the October 2012 Storm Revisited: Rapid Inward Radial Transport From a Dynamic Outer Boundary

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Earth's outer radiation belt electron flux is highly variable and can be enhanced by over an order of magnitude over timescales less than one day, as observed during the October 2012 storm. Previous studies of this storm (e.g., Reeves et al., 2013, https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1237743) have invoked local acceleration to explain this ...

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.

The Global Propagation of Hiss Waves Originating From Dynamic Plasmaspheric Plume

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.
Abstract Hiss waves play a critical role in shaping Earth's radiation belts and mediating magnetosphere‐ionosphere energy transfer. Intense hiss emissions are frequently generated within dynamic plasmaspheric plumes through linear and nonlinear wave‐particle interactions.
