Superfast precipitation of energetic electrons in the radiation belts of the Earth
Nature Communications, 2022 Energetic electron densities in the radiation belt increases during geomagnetic storms. Here, the authors show oblique whistler mode waves enhance electron losses and create strong fluxes of about 100 keV electrons precipitating into the atmosphere, that

Radiation Belts and Their Environment [PDF]
, 2021 AbstractThe Van Allen radiation belts of high-energy electrons and ions, mostly protons, are embedded in the Earth’s inner magnetosphere where the geomagnetic field is close to that of a magnetic dipole. Understanding of the belts requires a thorough knowledge of the inner magnetosphere and its dynamics, the coupling of the solar wind to the ...

Constraining the Location of the Outer Boundary of Earth's Outer Radiation Belt
Earth and Space Science, 2021 Characterizing the location of the outer boundary of the outer radiation belt is a key aspect of improving radiation belt models and helps to constrain our understanding of the mechanisms by which the source and seed electron populations are transported ...

Survey of ELF-VLF plasma waves in outer radiation belt observed by Cluster STAFF-SA experiment [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2008 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.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 1-26., 2021 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.

Forecasting the Radiation Belts in Europe [PDF]
Space Weather, 2012 Weather forecasting has expanded to space weather. As of 1 March 2012, satellite operators and the general public will be able to obtain forecasts of the Earth’s radiation belts, thanks to the SPACECAST project. The opening of the first European system to forecast Earth’s radiation belts, part of the SPACECAST project, is funded by the European Union ...

Research advances in the data assimilative modeling of the Earth's radiation belt electrons
地球与行星物理论评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 ...
