Relativistic-electron dropouts and recovery: A superposed epoch study of the magnetosphere and the solar wind [PDF]

, 2009
During 124 high-speed-stream-driven storms from two solar cycles, a multispacecraft average of the 1.1–1.5 MeV electron flux measured at geosynchronous orbit is examined to study global dropouts of the flux. Solar wind and magnetospheric measurements are

Machine Learning‐Ready Data Sets for the Analysis and Nowcasting of Atmospheric Radiation at Aviation Altitudes

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 3, March 2026.
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.

A case study of electron precipitation fluxes due to plasmaspheric hiss [PDF]

, 2015
We find that during a large geomagnetic storm in October 2011 the trapped fluxes of >30, >100, and >300 keV outer radiation belt electrons were enhanced at L=3-4 during the storm main phase.

Dependence of Plasmaspheric Hiss Power on ωpe/Ωce

Geophysical Research Letters
Plasmaspheric hiss waves play a key role in scattering energetic electrons and are often modeled in the inner magnetosphere using empirical hiss power maps parameterized by L shell.

Effects of the May 2024 Solar Storm on the Earth's Radiation Belts Observed by CALET on the International Space Station

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
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 ...

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.

Suprathermal Electron Evolution Under the Competition Between Plasmaspheric Plume Hiss Wave Heating and Collisional Cooling

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
AbstractSuprathermal electrons are a major heat source of ionospheric plasma. How the suprathermal electrons evolve during their bounces inside the plasmasphere is a fundamental question for the magnetosphere‐ionosphere coupling. On the basis of Van Allen Probes observations and quasi‐linear simulations, we present here the first quantitative study on ...

Bursty Precipitation of Relativistic Electrons Unveiled by CIRBE/REPTile‐2 Measurements and Their Physical Implications

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
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 ...

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 ...
