The Upper Boundary of the Van Allen Radiation Belts.

Nature, 1959
THREE measurements have now been made of the intensity and extent of the Earth's upper radiation belt and of the primary cosmic-ray intensity beyond. These were made by: (1) the American space probe, Pioneer III (December 6–7, 1958, ref. 1), (2) the Russian cosmic rocket, Mechta (January 2–4, 1959, ref. 2), and (3) the American space probe, Pioneer IV (

Relationship of the Van Allen radiation belts to solar wind drivers

Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, 2008
Abstract Discovery of the Van Allen radiation belts by instrumentation flown on Explorer 1 in 1958 was the first major discovery of the Space Age. A view of the belts as distinct inner and outer zones of energetic particles with different sources was modified by observations made during the Cycle 22 maximum in solar activity in 1989–1991, the first ...

Ring currents in the region of the Van Allen radiation belts

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1961
By measurements of the earth's magnetic field in the region of the Van Allen radiation belts clear differences between the calculated dipole field and the observed values were found. During the flight of the cosmic rocket Mechta (2/1/1959) an anomaly of the magnetic field at a geocentric distance of about 21,000 km was discovered [Dolginow and Puschkow,

Conjugate studies of whistler-mode waves in the Van Allen radiation belts

2011 XXXth URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium, 2011
Whistler-mode waves, especially chorus, can influence energetic electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts. These electromagnetic waves propagate over long distances in the magnetosphere. It has been previously shown that chorus can propagate from its equatorial source down to the subauroral ionosphere.

How Coherent are Flux Variations in the Outer Van Allen Radiation Belt?

2020
<p>The electron population inside Earth’s outer radiation belt is highly variable and typically linked to geomagnetic activity such as storms and substorms. These variations can differ with radial distance, such that the fluxes at the outer boundary are different from those in the heart of the belt.
