Journal ArticleDOI
Abstract: Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are mostly left-hand-polarized waves observed in the 0.1–5 Hz range in the inner magnetosphere. These waves are generated near the equator by the temperature anisotropy of ring current ions either injected from the plasma sheet during geomagnetic storms or substorms or transversely heated by dayside magnetopause compression (Anderson et al., 1992; McCollough et al., 2010; Usanova et al., 2010). In a plasma containing H and He ions, EMIC waves can be generated in two distinctive bands below and above the helium gyrofrequency (Stix, 1962; Summers & Thorne, 2003; Zhang et al., 2016).

TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic electron dynamics in the radiation belts fall into two categories: diffusive processes and advective processes, in which particles are collectively driven in one direction in energy or space.
