Sensitivity to the Boundary Condition at L* =7 [17] To show the importance of the assumed energy spectrum at the radial boundary (L* = 7), we compare simulations with boundary conditions used for radial diffusion studies [Shprits and Thorne, 2004; Shprits et al., 2006b ] and extrapolated to lo”
• Radiation belt electron acceleration by chorus waves during the 17 March 2013 storm (2014, background): “…of the magnetopause, relativistic electron fluxes (>~2MeV) decreased by almost an order of magnitude from Trajectory 2 to 3 (see Figure 1j), which is likely due to the magnetopause shadowing effect and the following outward radial diffusion process [e.g., Shprits et al., 2006; Turner et al., 2012].”
• Relativistic electron precipitation by EMIC waves from self‐consistent global simulations (2008, methodology): “where the values for Kp = 6 are used at higher Kp .A t energies E � 1 MeV we use the lifetime parameterizations twp =5 /Kp from Shprits et al. [2006] that produced the best agreement with CRRES observations for simulations with variable outer boundary.”
• Observation of two distinct, rapid loss mechanisms during the 20 November 2003 radiation belt dropout event (2006, methodology): “Sensitivity experiments show that even when Daa is decreased by an order of magnitude over a 15 pitch angle range at a location away from the loss cone, the effective electron lifetime is decreased by a factor less than two [Shprits et al., 2006c].”
• Gradual diffusion and punctuated phase space density enhancements of highly relativistic electrons: Van Allen Probes observations (2014, background): “This suggests probable loss of the electrons through drainage out of the magnetopause boundary [e.g., Shprits et al., 2006; Turner et al., 2012] coupledwith energy-dependent radial transport due to drift shell splitting [e.g.,Wilken et al., 1986].”

• The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) on RBSP (2013, background): “Similarly, the outward motion of the radiation belt particles due to the adiabatic effect causes electrons to move to larger L, thus increasing the losses through the magnetopause (Shprits et al. 2006; Jordanova et al. 2008; Loto’aniu et al. 2010).”
