Are energetic electrons in the solar wind the source of the outer radiation belt?
Using data from WIND, SAMPEX (Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer), and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) sensors onboard geostationary satellites, we investigate the correlation of energetic electrons in the 20-200 keV range in the solar wind and of high speed solar wind streams with relativistic electrons in the magnetosphere to determine whether energetic electrons...
متن کاملElectron Lifetimes in the Outer Radiation Belt
3 Data assimilation aims to smoothly blend incomplete and inaccurate ob-4 servational data with dynamical information from a physical model, and be-5 come an increasingly important tool in understanding and predicting me-6 teorological, oceanographic and climate processes. As space-borne observa-7 tions become more plentiful and space-physics models more sophisticated, 8 dynamical processes in ...
متن کاملRadial gradients of phase space density of the outer radiation belt electrons prior to sudden solar wind pressure enhancements
[1] When Earth’s magnetosphere is impacted by a sudden solar wind pressure enhancement, dayside trapped electrons are transported radially inwards, conserving their first and second adiabatic invariants (m and K). Thus, with magnetic field and particle flux measurements at geosynchronous orbit (GEO) before and after the impact, the phase space density (PSD) radial gradients of the particles pri...
متن کاملCorrelation between the inner edge of outer radiation belt electrons and the innermost plasmapause location
[1] A remarkable correlation between the inner edge of the outer radiation belt electrons and the innermost plasmapause location is demonstrated by using 12 years of measurements of MeV electrons from the Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Particle Explorer (SAMPEX) and the Combined Radiation and Release Experiment Satellite (CRRES) during its entire mission (July 1990–October 1991). An empir...
متن کاملMapping Jupiter's outer radiation belt
Flux maps of energetic ions in Jupiter's outer radiation belt, calculated with the aid of a model of the current sheet magnetic field, are consistent with a spatial distribution that is uniform along field lines and monotonically decreasing with radial distance. This result is supported by numerical ion trajectory calculations that predict uniform filling of drift shells at high L values. Adiab...
