Abstract: Whistler‐mode hiss waves generally determine MeV electron lifetimes inside the plasmasphere. We use Van Allen Probes measurements to provide the first comprehensive statistical survey of plasmaspheric hiss‐driven quasi‐linear pitch‐angle diffusion rates and lifetimes of MeV… read more here.
