TL;DR: High-resolution electron observations obtained during the 9 October storm are reported and chorus scattering explains the temporal evolution of both the energy and angular distribution of the observed relativistic electron flux increase, and detailed modelling demonstrates the remarkable efficiency of wave acceleration in the Earth's outer radiation belt.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative analysis is presented of the resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons (∼100 eV-20 keV) at L = 6 due to resonant interactions with whistler-mode chorus.

TL;DR: It is shown that a different wave type called chorus, previously thought to be unrelated to hiss, can propagate into the plasmasphere from tens of thousands of kilometres away, and evolve into hiss.

TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors performed a global survey of whistler-mode chorus waves using magnetic field filter bank data from the THEMIS spacecraft with 5 probes in near-equatorial orbits, which confirmed earlier analyses of the strong dependence of wave amplitudes on geomagnetic activity, confinement of nightside emissions to low magnetic latitudes, and extension of dayside emissions to high latitudes.

TL;DR: Direct evidence is provided that a naturally occurring electromagnetic wave, lower-band chorus, can drive pulsating aurora, and the findings can be used to constrain magnetic field models with much higher accuracy than has previously been possible.
