Survey of ELF-VLF plasma waves in outer radiation belt observed by Cluster STAFF-SA experiment [PDF]
Various types of plasma waves have profound effects on acceleration and scattering of radiation belt particles. For the purposes of radiation belt modeling it is necessary to know statistical distributions of plasma wave parameters.

Prompt energization of relativistic and highly relativistic electrons during a substorm interval: Van Allen Probes observations [PDF]
On 17 March 2013, a large magnetic storm significantly depleted the multi-MeV radiation belt. We present multi-instrument observations from the Van Allen Probes spacecraft Radiation Belt Storm Probe A and Radiation Belt Storm Probe B at ~6 Re in the ...

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A density-temperature description of the outer electron radiation belt during geomagnetic storms [PDF]
Bi-Maxwellian fits are made to energetic-electron flux measurements from seven satellites in geosynchronous orbit, yielding a number density (n) and temperature (T) description of the outer electron radiation belt.

Modeling inward diffusion and slow decay of energetic electrons in the Earth\u27s outer radiation belt [PDF]
A new 3-D diffusion code is used to investigate the inward intrusion and slow decay of energetic radiation belt electrons (\u3e0.5 MeV) observed by the Van Allen Probes during a 10 day quiet period on March 2013.

Intense duskside lower band chorus waves observed by Van Allen Probes: Generation and potential acceleration effect on radiation belt electrons [PDF]
Local acceleration driven by whistler mode chorus waves largely accounts for the enhancement of radiation belt relativistic electron fluxes, whose favored region is usually considered to be the plasmatrough with magnetic local time approximately from ...

Research advances in the data assimilative modeling of the Earth's radiation belt electrons
The Earth's radiation belts are regions where high-energy charged particles congregate in near-Earth space. Given that high-energy particles in the radiation belts pose a severe threat to the safety of spacecraft in orbit and astronauts, it is of vital ...
