Low Frequency Plasmaspheric Hiss Wave Activity Parameterized by Plasmapause Location: Models and Simulations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2022
Plasmaspheric hiss waves are a dominant source of scattering for keV – MeV radiation belt electrons within the plasmasphere. Previous simulation and modeling work concerning hiss waves has often incorporated them via particle-based parameterizations (e.g., L-shell).

Assessment of Spacecraft Internal Charging in the Earth's Outer Radiation Belt

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The internal charging effects triggered by energetic (>100 keV) electrons in the Earth's radiation belts can cause anomalies and failures of electronic components aboard spacecraft. Given the critical importance of safeguarding space assets, it is essential to estimate internal charging risks, which depend highly on the distribution of ...

A Wave Model and Diffusion Coefficients for Plasmaspheric Hiss Parameterized by Plasmapause Location

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2019
Abstract The scattering of electrons via plasmaspheric hiss whistler‐mode plasma waves has profound consequences for the dynamics of electrons in the inner terrestrial magnetosphere, including the radiation belts. Consequently, simulations of inner magnetospheric electron dynamics incorporate hiss wave models, though these models are ...

Sensitivity of Bounce‐Averaged Diffusion Coefficients to the Latitudinal Variability of Lightning Generated Whistlers

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The development of statistical wave models that include the underlying variability of the wave distributions is an important next step toward more accurate radiation belt models. Lightning‐generated whistlers (LGW) are an important wave mode in the plasmasphere; previous time‐averaged diffusion coefficients have used assumptions about the wave

Large‐Amplitude Extremely Low Frequency Hiss Waves in Plasmaspheric Plumes

Geophysical Research Letters, 2018
AbstractWhistler‐mode extremely low frequency hiss emissions commonly exist in the plasmasphere and the plasmaspheric plume and contribute to the precipitation loss of the radiation belt electrons. How these hiss waves are generated remains a critical unanswered question. Here we report the large‐amplitude (up to 1.5 nT) hiss waves in the plasmaspheric

Ray Tracing Method in a General Non‐Dipole Magnetic Field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract We present a new general mathematical formulation of the Eikonal equations for ray tracing, which can use any internal magnetic field model. The analytical and tractable expressions are conveniently based on a vector formalism, which is independent of any coordinate system.

Long Lifetime Hiss Rays in the Disturbed Plasmasphere

Geophysical Research Letters
Plasmaspheric hiss waves are important to shape the Earth’s electron radiation belt. These waves are commonly envisioned to have a long lifetime which allows them to permeate the global plasmasphere from a spatially restricted source.

Evolution of dayside chorus into nightside plasmaspheric hiss

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Plasmaspheric hiss is an incoherent, broadband, whistler-mode emission that is found primarily in the Earth’s dense plasmasphere and is believed to be largely responsible for the formation of the slot region between the inner and outer radiation belts ...

The Species‐ and Energy‐Dependent Effects of EMIC Waves on Ring Current Ions

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Wave‐particle interactions are a major mechanism responsible for dissipating energy and redistributing particles within geospace. This study investigates the effects of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves on ring current ions. We present a case study of the effects of EMIC waves on the ring current during the 15 August 2015 geomagnetic storm ...

Self‐Limiting of Artificial Electron Radiation Belts: Evidence From the Starfish Prime High‐Altitude Nuclear Explosion

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The 1962 Starfish Prime high‐altitude 1.4‐megaton nuclear detonation injected large amounts of fission‐produced energetic electrons into the inner magnetosphere (L = 1.12), creating an intense artificial radiation belt that persisted for years. In this study, we revisit historical data from this unprecedented event to investigate the potential
