Enhancements in relativistic electron fluxes the outer radiation belt often occur following magnetic storms and have been suggested to result from resonant interactions with enhanced whistler‐mode chorus emissions observed on dawnside. Using observations during a period of persistent high‐speed, corotating, solar wind streams, we investigate aspects wind‐magnetosphere coupling that lead these emissions. We find energization occurs association large‐amplitude Alfvén waves within high‐speed...
Findings from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission uncover frequent occurrences of small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) and switchbacks (SBs - sharp deflection field direction with radial velocity spike inside) as structural components solar wind. These mesoscale structures are present at all heliocentric distances specifically active in young SMFRs exhibit fundamental physical traits akin to larger but distinguished by their notably smaller scale, lasting seconds a couple hours, spanning...
Abstract This study investigated electron phase space densities (PSDs) in geostationary orbits using data from Korea's satellite, GK2A, as well GOES‐16 and GOES‐17 satellites. The PSDs were computed fluxes measured by each satellite during a geomagnetically quiet period defined stringent conditions on geomagnetic activity. conjunction of the satellites over invariant coordinates enabled pairs to be compared assess extent deviation PSD ratios expected ratio one, inferred Liouville theorem....
Geosynchronous satellites are often exposed to energetic electrons, the flux of which varies a large extent. Since electrons can cause irreparable damage satellites, efforts develop electron prediction models have long been made until recently. In this study, we adopt neural network scheme construct model for geosynchronous in wide energy range (40 keV >2 MeV) and at high time resolution (as based on 5 min data). As inputs, take solar wind variables, geomagnetic indices, fluxes themselves....

PD on GK2A satellite, together with MPS-HI GOES-16 satellite 156.6° away, can valuable simultaneous asymmetric...
Abstract Accurate knowledge of the global distribution plasmaspheric hiss is essential for radiation belt modeling because it provides a direct link to understanding loss in slot region. In this paper, we study dependence activity on solar wind parameters and geomagnetic indices using Time History Events Macroscale Interactions during Substorms measurements made from 1 July 2008 30 June 2012 based correlation analysis. We find that amplitudes are well correlated with preceding speed V SW ,...
Abstract Rapid injection of MeV electrons associated with strong substorm dipolarization has been suggested as a potential explanation for some radiation belt enhancement events. However, it difficult to quantify the contribution electron injections enhancements. This paper presents two isolated events which we quite precisely how entire outer‐belt immediately changed injections. Tracking detailed evolution observed by Van Allen Probes, both events, identify large step‐like relativistic...
Abstract It is well known that the plasmapause influenced by solar wind and magnetospheric conditions. Empirical models of its location have been previously developed such as those O'Brien Moldwin (2003) Larsen et al. (2006). In this study, we identified locations using plasma density data obtained from Time History Events Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) satellites. We used for period (2008–2012) corresponding to ascending phase Solar Cycle 24. Our database includes over a...
Abstract We report on observations of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves and their interactions with injected ring current particles high energy radiation belt electrons. The magnetic field experiment aboard the twin Van Allen Probes spacecraft measured EMIC near L = 5.5–6. Particle data from show that were associated particle injections. wave activity was also observed by a ground‐based magnetometer geomagnetic footprint over more extensive temporal range. Phase space density...
Abstract Observation of growing phase space density (PSD) peak in the outer electron radiation belt has been considered evidence for local wave‐driven acceleration as a primary cause enhancement. However, recent studies showed that strong substorm‐associated MeV injections can also significant enhancements on fast timescales (∼10s min). Such rapid pose challenges determining true spatial PSD profiles. To address this, we conduct detailed spatiotemporal analysis flux and during an enhancement...
Abstract In this study, we report on small-scale magnetic flux ropes (SMFRs) observed as a compact series in narrow Carrington longitudinal range during three Parker Solar Probe (PSP) encounters. First, ∼1.5 days of PSP's inbound part Encounter 4, identified 11 SMFRs within 1.°4 longitude over the radial distance ∼8.4 R ☉ (from ∼44 to 35 ). The lasted from ∼0.5 1.8 hr, and adjacent events were separated mostly by few hours up ∼6.5 hr at longest, but some very closely spaced with intervals...
Abstract Magnetopause shadowing is regarded as one of the major reasons for loss relativistic radiation belt electrons, although this has not yet been fully validated by observations. Previous simulations on process assumed that all electrons encountering magnetopause are simply lost into magnetosheath just ring current ions can be and did examine details particle dynamics across inside which a finite thickness. In paper, we perform test orbit calculations based simplified one‐dimensional...

Motivated recent observations, we examine effect hot anisotropic addition usual protons. We solve kinetic dispersion relation for this examination and find following results. First, leads growth EMIC at frequencies below gyrofrequency (He band) a reduction wave rates (or damping waves) between...
Abstract Anisotropic velocity distributions of protons have long been considered as free energy sources for exciting electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves in the Earth's magnetosphere. Here we rigorously calculated proton anisotropy parameter using data obtained from Van Allen Probe‐A observations. The calculations are performed times during EMIC wave events (distinguishing immediately after and before onsets) exhibiting no waves. We find that values often larger onsets than just...

With Van Allen Probe‐A observations, we identify three EMIC wave events that are triggered by enhancements under prolonged northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) quiet time preconditions. They in contrast another a few aspects. Event 1 occurs middle continuously increasing while is located...
Abstract In this paper, using the multisatellite (the Van Allen Probes and two GOES satellites) observations in inner magnetosphere, we examine electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) wave events that are triggered by P dyn enhancements under prolonged northward interplanetary magnetic field quiet time preconditions. For both events, impact of enhanced causes EMIC waves at multiple points. However, find a strong spatial dependence due to can occur points (likely globally but not necessarily...

First, while confirmed well‐known fact that FBs are characterized generally having lower density than their surrounding medium, newly found maximum speed is statistically proportional depletion amount relative medium . Namely,...

Abstract Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves can cause relativistic electron scattering and atmospheric precipitation, primarily via resonant interactions in the Earth's radiation belts. However, conventional quasilinear resonance theory suggests that condition is not satisfied for 90° pitch angle (PA) electrons, which constitute majority of electrons outer belt, such mainly affects low‐PA electrons. In contrast to this theory, using test particle calculations, we demonstrate even...
