Three‐dimensional modeling of the radiation belts using the Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB) code [PDF]
Space Weather, 2009 Relativistic electrons are hazardous for satellites and humans in space. In this study, we present a detailed description of the Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB) code. The computationally efficient methods described in this report make the VERB code a useful tool for space weather forecasting and nowcasting of the relativistic electron ...

Differentiating Between the Leading Processes for Electron Radiation Belt Acceleration
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Many spacecraft fly within or through a natural and variable particle accelerator powered by the coupling between the magnetosphere and the solar wind: the Earth’s radiation belts.

Electron Diffusion by Magnetosonic Waves in the Earth’s Radiation Belts
Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, 2022 AbstractWe conduct a global survey of magnetosonic waves and compute the associated bounce‐ and drift‐averaged diffusion coefficients, taking into account colocated measurements of fpe/fce, to assess the role of magnetosonic waves in radiation belt dynamics.

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2018 Wave-particle interactions triggered by whistler-mode chorus waves are an important contributor to the Jovian radiation belt electron dynamics. While the sensitivity of chorus-driven electron scattering to the ambient magnetospheric and wave parameters ...

A 30‐Year Simulation of the Outer Electron Radiation Belt [PDF]
Space Weather, 2018 AbstractAs society becomes more reliant on satellite technology, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the radiation environment throughout the Van Allen radiation belts. Historically most satellites have operated in low Earth orbit or geostationary orbit (GEO), but there are now over 100 satellites in medium Earth orbit (MEO ...

Relative positions of the polar boundary of the outer electron radiation belt and the equatorial boundary of the auroral oval [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2018 Finding the position of the polar boundary of the outer electron radiation belt, relative to the position of the auroral oval, is a long-standing problem.

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 ...
