Electron loss rates from the outer radiation belt caused by the filling of the outer plasmasphere: The calm before the storm [PDF]

, 2009
Measurements from seven spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit are analyzed to determine the decay rate of the number density of the outer electron radiation belt prior to the onset of high-speed-stream-driven geomagnetic storms.

Electron Diffusion by Coexisting Plasmaspheric Hiss and Chorus Waves: Multisatellite Observations and Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
AbstractWe report a rare event of intense plasmaspheric hiss and chorus waves simultaneously observed at the same L shell but different magnetic local times by Van Allen Probes and Magnetospheric Multiscale. Based on the measured waves and electron distributions, we calculate the bounce‐averaged diffusion coefficients and subsequently simulate the ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Statistically measuring the amount of pitch angle scattering that energetic electrons undergo as they drift across the plasmaspheric drainage plume at geosynchronous orbit [PDF]

, 2014
Using five spacecraft in geosynchronous orbit, plasmaspheric drainage plumes are located in the dayside magnetosphere and the measured pitch angle anisotropies of radiation belt electrons are compared duskward and dawnward of the plumes.

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.

Electron losses from the radiation belts caused by EMIC waves [PDF]

, 2014
Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron (EMIC) waves cause electron loss in the radiation belts by resonating with high energy electrons at energies greater than about 500 keV. However, their effectiveness has not been fully quantified.

Simultaneous Evolutions of Inner Magnetospheric Plasmaspheric Hiss and EMIC Waves Under the Influence of a Heliospheric Plasma Sheet

Geophysical Research Letters, 2022
AbstractPlasmaspheric hiss and electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are two of the most important magnetospheric plasma waves inside the Earth's high‐density plasmasphere. In this work, utilizing observations from the WIND and Van Allen Probes missions, we investigate the simultaneous evolutions of inner magnetospheric plasmaspheric hiss and EMIC

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 ...
