TLDR
The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) investigation on the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (now named the Van Allen Probes) mission provides key wave and very low frequency magnetic field measurements to understand radiation belt acceleration, loss, and transport.Abstract:
The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) investigation on the NASA Radiation Belt Storm Probes (now named the Van Allen Probes) mission provides key wave and very low frequency magnetic field measurements to understand radiation belt acceleration, loss, and transport. The key science objectives and the contribution that EMFISIS makes to providing measurements as well as theory and modeling are described. The key components of the instruments suite, both electronics and sensors, including key functional parameters, calibration, and performance, demonstrate that EMFISIS provides the needed measurements for the science of the RBSP mission. The EMFISIS operational modes and data products, along with online availability and data tools provide the radiation belt science community with one the most complete sets of data ever collected.read more

Evaluation of Plasma Properties From Chorus Waves Observed at the Generation Region
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an inversion method which provides thermal plasma population parameters from characteristics of chorus emissions only, and applied this method to ground-based data in order to derive the lower energy boundary condition for many radiation belt models.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Van Allen Probes (RBSP-A and RBSP-B) and GOES-13 and G-15 multipoint measurements to study the spatial, temporal, and spectral characteristics of compressional Pc5 pulsations observed during the recovery phase of a stronggomagnetic storm on 1 January 2016.

Statistical Properties of Whistler‐Mode Hiss Waves in the Inner Radiation Belt
TL;DR: In this article , the authors surveyed statistically the occurrence rate, intensity, and propagation properties of hiss waves in the inner radiation belt (1.1 < L ≤ 2) using the Van Allen Probes A and B observations from 01 January 2013 to 28 February 2018, and found that the frequency and amplitude of lower-band hiss are higher in the dayside high-L region (L > 1.3 and magnetic local time [MLT] = 6-20 hr) than the night-side (MLT ∼ 20-6 hr).

TL;DR: The Van Allen Probes mission operations materialized through a distributed model in which operational responsibility was divided between the Mission Operations Center (MOC) and separate instrument specific SOCs as mentioned in this paper .

Design of Fluxgate Magnetometer Sensors
TL;DR: In this paper, the magnetic field is zeroed by an artificial field created by compensating coil or feedback coil by passing appropriate dc current, which is equivalent to the ambient magnetic field and do not depend on amplifier parameters.

Regular Article: A Solution-Adaptive Upwind Scheme for Ideal Magnetohydrodynamics
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a computational scheme for compressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) based on the same elements that make up many modern compressible gas dynamics codes: high-resolution upwinding based on an approximate Riemann solver for MHD and limited reconstruction; an optimally smoothing multi-stage time-stepping scheme; and solution-adaptive refinement and coarsening.

Relativistic theory of wave‐particle resonant diffusion with application to electron acceleration in the magnetosphere
TL;DR: In this paper, a model was proposed to account for the observed variations in the flux and pitch angle distribution of relativistic electrons during geomagnetic storms by combining pitch angle scattering by intense EMIC waves and energy diffusion during cyclotron resonant interaction with whistler mode chorus outside the plasmasphere.

Pitch-angle diffusion of radiation belt electrons within the plasmasphere.
TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of the quiet-time electron slot, which divides the radiation belt electrons into an inner and an outer zone, was investigated. But the results were limited to the inner radiation zone.
