The interactions between ULF waves and cold charged particles in the Earth's magnetosphere
In the solar wind-magnetosphere coupling processes, many kinds of plasma waves can be excited in the Earth's magnetosphere including ULF waves, hiss waves, chorus waves, etc. Among these waves, ULF waves are featured by the lowest wave frequency (1 mHz~1

ULF waves and discrete aurora [PDF]
We present results from the numerical study of ULF waves generated by the ionospheric feedback instability in density cavities. The goal of the study is to explain several spectral features of ULF waves detected on the ground in close vicinity of intense discrete auroral arcs.

A numerical model to investigate the polarisation azimuth of ULF waves through an ionosphere with oblique magnetic fields [PDF]
A one dimensional, computational model for the propagation of ultra low frequency (ULF; 1-100 mHz) wave fields from the Earth's magnetosphere through the ionosphere, atmosphere and into the ground is presented.

On the magnetospheric ULF wave counterpart of substorm onset [PDF]
One near‐ubiquitous signature of substorms observed on the ground is the azimuthal structuring of the onset auroral arc in the minutes prior to onset. Termed auroral beads, these optical signatures correspond to concurrent exponential increases in ground

An initial ULF wave index derived from 2 years of Swarm observations [PDF]
The ongoing Swarm satellite mission provides an opportunity for better knowledge of the near-Earth electromagnetic environment. Herein, we use a new methodological approach for the detection and classification of ultra low-frequency (ULF) wave events ...

Semiannual variation of Pc5 ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves and relativistic electrons over two solar cycles of observations: comparison with predictions of the classical hypotheses [PDF]
Pc5 ULF (ultra-low frequency) waves can energize electrons to relativistic energies of >2 MeV in geostationary orbits. Enhanced fluxes of such electrons can induce operational anomalies in geostationary satellites.

Calculating ultra-low-frequency wave power of the compressional magnetic field vs. L and time: multi-spacecraft analysis using the Van Allen probes, THEMIS and GOES [PDF]
Ultra-low-frequency (ULF) pulsations are critical in radial diffusion processes of energetic particles, and the power spectral density (PSD) of these fluctuations is an integral part of the radial diffusion coefficients and of assimilative models of ...

Interactions of energetic electrons with ULF waves triggered by interplanetary shock: Van Allen Probes observations in the magnetotail [PDF]
We present in situ observations of a shock-induced substorm-like event on 13 April 2013 observed by the newly launched Van Allen twin probes. Substorm-like electron injections with energy of 30-500 keV were observed in the region from L∼5.2 to 5.5 ...
