Abstract: Abstract The relativistic electron dynamics in the radiation belts falls into two categories: diffusive processes, in which particles are scattered randomly, and advective processes, in which particles are collectively driven in one direction in energy… read more here.

Abstract: Fast‐localized electron loss, resulting from interactions with electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves, can produce deepening minima in phase space density (PSD) radial profiles. Here, we perform a statistical analysis of local PSD minima to quantify… read more here.
