Dynamics of the inner electron radiation belt: A review
The Van Allen radiation belts are an extraordinary science discovery in the Earth magnetosphere and consist of two electron belts. The inner Van Allen belt contains electrons of 10s to 100s keV; the outer belt consists mainly of 0.1−10 MeV electrons ...

Observations of Radiation Belt Losses Due to Cyclotron Wave-Particle Interactions [PDF]
Electron loss to the atmosphere plays a critical role in driving dynamics of the Earths Van Allen radiation belts and slot region. This is a review of atmospheric loss of radiation belt electrons caused by plasma wave scattering via Doppler-shifted ...

Constraining the Location of the Outer Boundary of Earth's Outer Radiation Belt
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 ...

Forecasting the Radiation Belts in Europe [PDF]
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 ...

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.

The global response of relativistic radiation belt electrons to the January 1997 magnetic cloud [PDF]
In January 1997 a large fleet of NASA and US military satellites provided the most complete observations to date of the changes in \u3e2 MeV electrons during a geomagnetic storm. Observations at geosynchronous orbit revealed a somewhat unusual two-peaked
