Links of the Plasmapause With Other Boundary Layers of the Magnetosphere: Ionospheric Convection, Radiation Belt Boundaries, Auroral Oval

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
The plasmapause marks the limit of the plasmasphere and is characterized by a sudden change in plasma density. This can influence the other regions of the magnetosphere, including due to different waves circulating inside and outside the plasmasphere. In

Outer radiation belt and inner magnetospheric response to sheath regions of coronal mass ejections: a statistical analysis [PDF]

open access: yesAnnales Geophysicae, 2020
The energetic electron content in the Van Allen radiation belts surrounding the Earth can vary dramatically at several timescales, and these strong electron fluxes present a hazard for spacecraft traversing the belts.

On the cause and extent of outer radiation belt losses during the 30 September 2012 dropout event [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
On 30 September 2012, a flux dropout occurred throughout Earth\u27s outer electron radiation belt during the main phase of a strong geomagnetic storm.

Precipitation of Radiation Belt Electrons by EMIC Waves With Conjugated Observations of NOAA and Van Allen Satellites

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2018
In this letter, we present unique conjugated satellite observations of MeV relativistic electron precipitation caused by electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves. On the outer boundary of the plasmasphere, the Van Allen probe observed EMIC waves.

Nonstorm time dynamics of electron radiation belts observed by the Van Allen Probes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Storm time electron radiation belt dynamics have been widely investigated for many years. Here we present a rarely reported nonstorm time event of electron radiation belt evolution observed by the Van Allen Probes during 21-24 February 2013.

Specifying High‐Altitude Electrons Using Low‐Altitude LEO Systems: The SHELLS Model

open access: yesSpace Weather, 2020
We describe an artificial neural network model of the near‐Earth space radiation environment. The geomagnetic activity index Kp and low‐earth‐orbit (LEO) electron flux measurements from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Polar‐orbiting ...

Observations of Radiation Belt Losses Due to Cyclotron Wave-Particle Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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 ...

Dynamic Responses of Outer Radiation Belt Electron Phase Space Densities to Geomagnetic Storms: A Statistical Analysis Based on Van Allen Probes Observations

open access: diamondSpace Weather
Using Van Allen Probes observations from September 2012 to June 2019, we statistically investigate responses of the Earth's outer radiation belt electron phase space densities (PSDs) in the adiabatic invariant coordinates to isolated geomagnetic storms ...

Statistics and Empirical Models of the Plasmasphere Boundaries From the Van Allen Probes for Radiation Belt Physics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
We deduce the electron plasma density from the NASA Van Allen Probes Electric Field and Waves and Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science measurements and extract the plasmasphere boundaries throughout 2012–2019.
