Two types of magnetospheric ELF chorus and their substorm dependences

TLDR
In this paper, the distribution of extremely low frequency (10-1500 Hz) magnetospheric chorus to all local times and latitudes is investigated in order to determine dependence on substorms, and to evaluate the conditions under which chorus is generated.
Abstract
The distribution of extremely low frequency (10-1500 Hz) magnetospheric chorus to all local times and latitudes is investigated in order to determine dependence on substorms, and to evaluate the conditions under which chorus is generated. The analysis carefully separates space and time effects by an investigation of data obtained by the OGO 5 search coil magnetometer. A study of spatial dependencies shows that chorus occurs in two magnetic regions: equatorial chorus is located near the equator, and high-latitude chorus is located above 15 degrees. An analysis of chorus in each of the regions illustrates that equatorial chorus is definitely related to substorm, whereas high-latitude chorus often occurs within magnetically quiet intervals.

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.

Radiation belt dynamics: The importance of wave-particle interactions

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in both understanding and global modeling of wave-particle interactions has led to a paradigm shift in our understanding of electron acceleration in the radiation belts; internal local acceleration, rather than radial diffusion, appears to be the dominant acceleration process during the recovery phase of magnetic storms.

Substorm dependence of chorus amplitudes: Implications for the acceleration of electrons to relativistic energies

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of wave data from the CRRES Plasma Wave Experiment for lower band (0.1-0.5f(ce)) and upper band ( 0.5-1.0f(c)) chorus was presented to assess whether these waves could play an important role in the acceleration of a seed population of electrons to relativistic energies during and following geomagnetic storms.

An investigation of whistling atmospherics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the nature and origin of whistlers, which are sometimes observed at frequencies below 15 kc/s and were found to follow the lines of force of the earth's magnetic field.

Postmidnight chorus: A substorm phenomenon

TL;DR: In this paper, the post-midnight chorus was detected in the midnight sector of the magnetosphere in conjunction with magnetospheric substorms and the characteristics of these emissions such as their frequency time structure, emission frequency with respect to the local equatorial electron gyrofrequency, intensity-time variation, and the average intensity were investigated.
