Storm-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...
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 کاملSimulation of high-energy radiation belt electron fluxes using NARMAX-VERB coupled codes
This study presents a fusion of data-driven and physics-driven methodologies of energetic electron flux forecasting in the outer radiation belt. Data-driven NARMAX (Nonlinear AutoRegressive Moving Averages with eXogenous inputs) model predictions for geosynchronous orbit fluxes have been used as an outer boundary condition to drive the physics-based Versatile Electron Radiation Belt (VERB) code...

The energy spectrum of trapped electrons predicted by the neutron-albedo theory waa tested experimentally with a magnetic electroh spectrometer for the energy range 40 5 E 5 110 kev. This detector waa flown on the State University of Iowa radiation research satellite Injun I at an alti...
متن کاملUpper 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...
