We use NASA's Van Allen Probes data to build a 3‐dimensional Radiation Belt Daily Average Electron flux model (RB‐Daily‐E) covering 25 differential energies (33–7,700 keV), 17 pitch angles, and a variable number of L shells from 2 to 7. RB‐Daily‐E can be

The plasma environment inside geostationary orbit: A Van Allen Probes HOPE survey. [PDF]
AbstractThe two full precessions in local time completed by the Van Allen Probes enable global specification of the near‐equatorial inner magnetosphere plasma environment. Observations by the Helium‐Oxygen‐Proton‐Electron (HOPE) mass spectrometers provide detailed insight into the global spatial distribution of electrons, H+, He+, and O+.

On the Spatial and Temporal Evolution of EMIC Wave‐Driven Relativistic Electron Precipitation: Magnetically Conjugate Observations From the Van Allen Probes and CALET [PDF]
Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves have been shown to be able to drive strong electron precipitation, particularly at MeV energies. However, the spatio‐temporal evolution of both the waves and the resulting precipitation is still not well ...

Global empirical models of plasmaspheric hiss using Van Allen Probes [PDF]
AbstractPlasmaspheric hiss is a whistler‐mode emission that permeates the Earth's plasmasphere and is a significant driver of energetic electron losses through cyclotron resonant pitch angle scattering. The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science instrument on the Van Allen Probes mission provides vastly improved ...

Event‐specific chorus wave and electron seed population models in DREAM3D using the Van Allen Probes [PDF]
The DREAM3D diffusion model is applied to Van Allen Probes observations of the fast dropout and strong enhancement of MeV electrons during the October 2012 double-dip storm. We show that in order to explain the very different behavior in the two dips,

Local Generation of High‐Frequency Plasmaspheric Hiss Observed by Van Allen Probes
The generation of a high‐frequency plasmaspheric hiss (HFPH) wave observed by Van Allen Probes is studied in this letter for the first time. The wave has a moderate power spectral density (∼10−6 nT2/Hz), with a frequency range extended from 2 to 10 kHz ...

Van Allen Probes observation of plasmaspheric hiss modulated by injected energetic electrons [PDF]
Plasmaspheric hiss was observed by Van Allen Probe B in association with energetic electron injections in the outer plasmasphere. The energy of injected electrons coincides with the minimum resonant energy calculated for the observed hiss wave ...

Observations of Time-Domain Structures in the Plasmaspheric Plume by Van Allen Probes
Time-domain structures (TDS), manifested as ≥ 1 ms pulses with significant parallel electric fields, play an important role in accelerating electrons in the field-aligned direction. These precipitated electrons contribute to the formation of aurora.
