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

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 ...

Statistical Properties of Plasmaspheric Hiss From Van Allen Probes Observations [PDF]
AbstractVan Allen Probes observations are used to statistically investigate plasmaspheric hiss wave properties. This analysis shows that the wave normal direction of plasmaspheric hiss is predominantly field aligned at larger L shells, with a bimodal distribution, consisting of a near‐field aligned and a highly oblique component, becoming apparent at ...

Morningside Pi2 Pulsation Observed in Space and on the Ground [PDF]
In this study, we examined a morningside Pi2 pulsation, with a non-substorm signature, that occurred in very quiet geomagnetic conditions (Kp = 0) at 05:38 UT on December 8, 2012, using data obtained by Van Allen Probes A and B (VAP-A and VAP-B ...

Analysis of plasmaspheric hiss wave amplitudes inferred from low-altitude POES electron data: Technique sensitivity analysis [PDF]
A novel technique capable of inferring wave amplitudes from low-altitude electron measurements from the Polar Operational Environmental Satellites (POES) spacecraft has been previously proposed to construct a global dynamic model of chorus and ...

Temperature of the plasmasphere from Van Allen Probes HOPE [PDF]
AbstractWe introduce two novel techniques for estimating temperatures of very low energy space plasmas using, primarily, in situ data from an electrostatic analyzer mounted on a charged and moving spacecraft. The techniques are used to estimate proton temperatures during intervals where the bulk of the ion plasma is well below the energy bandpass of ...

On the cause and extent of outer radiation belt losses during the 30 September 2012 dropout event [PDF]
On 30 September 2012, a flux dropout occurred throughout Earth\u27s outer electron radiation belt during the main phase of a strong geomagnetic storm.

Gradual diffusion and punctuated phase space density enhancements of highly relativistic electrons: Van Allen Probes observations [PDF]
The dual-spacecraft Van Allen Probes mission has provided a new window into mega electron volt (MeV) particle dynamics in the Earth\u27s radiation belts.

Statistical study and corresponding evolution of plasmaspheric plumes under different levels of geomagnetic storms [PDF]
Using observations of Van Allen Probes, we present a statistical study of plasmaspheric plumes in the inner magnetosphere. Plasmaspheric plumes tend to occur during the recovery phase of geomagnetic storms.
