Electron scattering loss in Earth's inner magnetosphere: 1. Dominant physical processes

TL;DR: Pitch angle diffusion rates due to Coulomb collisions and resonant interactions with plasmaspheric hiss, lightning-induced whistlers and anthropogenic VLF transmissions are computed for inner magnetospheric electrons as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Theory and simulation of the generation of whistler-mode chorus

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the relativistic second-order resonance condition for a whistler-mode wave with a varying frequency and found that the seeds of chorus emissions with a rising frequency are generated near the magnetic equator as a result of a nonlinear growth mechanism that depends on the wave amplitude.
Journal ArticleDOI

Review of radiation belt relativistic electron losses

TL;DR: In this article, a brief review of radiation belt electron losses is presented, which are vitally important for controlling the dynamics of the radiation belts and their relative importance to the overall rate of loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lion roars and nonoscillatory drift mirror waves in the magnetosheath

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that Extremely Low Frequency (low frequency) or "lion" roars are closely coupled to quasi-periodic, large scale magnetosheath structures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatio-temporal structure of storm-time chorus

TL;DR: In this article, a sine-wave parametric model with a variable amplitude was used to analyze the lower band of chorus below one half of the electron cyclotron frequency, measured at a radial distance of 4.4 Earth's radii, within a 2000 km long source region located close to the equator.

Whistler-mode propagation studies using navy vlf transmitters

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the history of using a controlled source as a tool for investigating the magnetospheric medium is reviewed, which will play a significant role in the future studies of whistler-mode propagation and environment modification.

On a remarkable correlation between whistler-mode propagation and hf northscatter,

TL;DR: In this article, the simultaneous occurrence of whistler-mode and northscatter echoes monitored at the University of Sheffield was examined, and the important result of the analysis is the direct evidence of meter scale field-aligned irregularities in that portion of the F region through which whistlermode signals are believed to have passed.

Whistler dispersion and exospheric hydrogen ions

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the variation of whistler dispersion with frequency is of the form predicted by Storey for an exosphere consisting largely of ionized hydrogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whistler dispersions for a model of the ionic distribution in the exosphere

TL;DR: In this article, the dispersions of whistling atmospherics for a model of the ion distributions in the exosphere were investigated at latitudes 30°, 35° 40° and 45° and corresponding to various transition levels at which n (500 km|O + ) equals n ( 500 km|H + ).
