Upper limit on the inner radiation belt MeV electron intensity
No instruments in the inner radiation belt are immune from the unforgiving penetration of the highly energetic protons (tens of MeV to GeV). The inner belt proton flux level, however, is relatively stable; thus, for any given instrument, the proton contamination often leads to a certain background noise. Measurements from the Relativistic Electron and Proton Telescope integrated little experime...
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 کاملElectron flux enhancement in the inner radiation belt during moderate magnetic storms
During moderate magnetic storms, an electron channel (300–1100 keV) of the NOAA satellite has shown sudden electron flux enhancements in the inner radiation belt. After examinating the possibility of contamination by different energetic particles, we conclude that these electron flux enhancements are reliable enough to be considered as natural phenomena, at least for the cases of small to moder...
متن کاملModeling energetic electron penetration into the slot region and inner radiation belt
[1] The inner radiation belt is thought to be quite stable, and only the most intense geomagnetic storms can cause energetic electron variations in the slot region and inner belt. In this paper, using energetic electron flux data from Detection of Electro-Magnetic Emissions Transmitted from Earthquake Regions (DEMETER) satellite, we show that 100s keV electron flux enhancements in the slot regi...
متن کاملStorm-dependent radiation belt electron dynamics
[1] Using recently published electron phase space densities (PSD) as a function of L* (L* is approximately the radial distance in Earth radii at the equator) and time, energization and loss in the Earth’s outer electron radiation belt were studied quantitatively and numerically using a radial diffusion model that included finite electron lifetimes and an internal source parameterized as a funct...
