Oblique Whistler-Mode Waves in the Earth’s Inner Magnetosphere: Energy Distribution, Origins, and Role in Radiation Belt Dynamics

TL;DR: In this paper, the statistics of occurrences and intensity of oblique chorus waves in the region of the outer radiation belt, comprised between the plasmapause and geostationary orbit, and discuss how their actual distribution may be explained by a combination of linear and non-linear generation, propagation, and damping processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wave-induced loss of ultra-relativistic electrons in the Van Allen radiation belts

TL;DR: Comparisons between observations and modelling of the evolution of the electron flux and pitch angle show that electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves provide the dominant loss mechanism at ultra-relativistic energies and produce a profound dropout of the ultra- RELATivistic radiation belt fluxes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Time domain structures: What and where they are, what they do, and how they are made

TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between TDS and auroral particle precipitation was investigated, and the mechanisms for generation of field-aligned electron pitch angle distributions by TDS, the maximum energies of fieldaligned electrons created by the TDS in the absence of whistler mode waves, TDS generation by oblique¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯whistlers and three-wave-parametric decay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthetic Empirical Chorus Wave Model From Combined Van Allen Probes and Cluster Statistics

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesize data from the Van Allen Probes and Cluster spacecraft to provide a new comprehensive chorus wave model in the outer radiation belt, which is used for modeling global acceleration and loss of electrons over the long run in the magnetosphere.
