Plasmaspheric hiss plays an important role in driving the precipitation loss of radiation belt electrons via pitch angle scattering, which is also known as the major cause of the formation of the slot region between the inner and outer radiation belt. Therefore, it is of scientific importance to acquire a complete picture of the global distribution of ...

LHR band emissions at mid-latitude and their relationship to ionospheric ELF hiss and relativistic electrons [PDF]
LHR band emissions observed at mid-latitude were investigated using data from the EXOS-C (Ohzora) satellite. A typical feature of the LHR band emissions is a continuous banded structure without burst-like and cut-off features whose center frequency ...

An empirically observed pitch-angle diffusion eigenmode in the Earth\u27s electron belt near L* = 5.0 [PDF]
Using data from NASA\u27s Van Allen Probes, we have identified a synchronized exponential decay of electron flux in the outer zone, near L* = 5.0. Exponential decays strongly indicate the presence of a pure eigenmode of a diffusion operator acting in the

Inner magnetospheric plasma interactions and coupling with the ionosphere [PDF]
The inner magnetosphere occupies a vast volume in space containing a relatively low-density mixture of hot and cold plasmas: the ring current, plasmasphere and radiation belt.

Statistics of whistler mode waves in the outer radiation belt: Cluster STAFF-SA measurements [PDF]
International audience[1] ELF/VLF waves play a crucial role in the dynamics of the radiation belts and are partly responsible for the main losses and the acceleration of energetic electrons.

Van Allen Probes observations linking radiation belt electrons to chorus waves during 2014 multiple storms [PDF]
During 18 February to 2 March 2014, the Van Allen Probes encountered multiple geomagnetic storms and simultaneously observed intensified chorus and hiss waves. During this period, there were substantial enhancements in fluxes of energetic (53.8–108.3 keV)

Enhanced Radiation at Aviation Altitudes and Plasmaspheric Hiss Waves—A Time Shift Analysis
Abstract Increased radiation levels in Earth's atmosphere can present significant risks to airline pilots, passengers, and commercial space travelers. Recent findings have revealed a strong statistical link between radiation dose rates detected at aviation altitudes (km) and plasmaspheric hiss wave power observed along the same ...

Chorus acceleration of radiation belt relativistic electrons during March 2013 geomagnetic storm [PDF]
The recent launching of Van Allen probes provides an unprecedent opportunity to investigate variations of the radiation belt relativistic electrons. During the 17-19 March 2013 storm, the Van Allen probes simultaneously detected strong chorus waves and ...
