• Constructing the global distribution of chorus wave intensity using measurements of electrons by the POES satellites and waves by the Van Allen Probes (2013, background): “Because local acceleration by chorus waves is fundamentally important for radiation belt electron dynamics [e.g., Thorne, 2010], it is crucial to understand the global evolution of chorus wave intensity.”
• Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) (2013, background): “The hot plasma also provides the energy source for multiple instabilities generating wave modes that drive local acceleration and loss (see review Thorne 2010) as well as radial transport of the outer belt electrons (e.g., Lanzerotti et al. 1969; Ukhorskiy et al. 2009).”
• Global model of lower band and upper band chorus from multiple satellite observations (2012, background): “, 1994] resulting from the delicate interplay of various transport, acceleration and loss processes [Thorne, 2010].”
• The occurrence and wave properties of H+‐, He+‐, and O+‐band EMIC waves observed by the Van Allen Probes (2015, background): “1 nT(2)/Hz, which again corresponds to the enhanced EMIC wave region [Morley et al., 2009; Pickett et al., 2010; Thorne, 2010].”
• Radiation belt electron acceleration by chorus waves during the 17 March 2013 storm (2014, background): “Outer radiation belt electron fluxes are highly variable during geomagnetic storms due to a competition between various loss and acceleration processes [Reeves et al., 2003; Bortnik and Thorne, 2007; Li et al., 2006; Li et al., 2007; Xiao et al., 2009; Thorne, 2010; Turner et al., 2013].”
• Space Weather Effects in the Earth’s Radiation Belts (2018, background): “Details on this rich and nonlinear process are still a matter of current research and are a good example of the importance of wave–particle interactions on the outer belt (e.g. Thorne 2010).”
• The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) on RBSP (2013, background): “For radiation belt electrons, non-adiabatic behavior is primarily associated with energy and momentum transfer during interactions with various magnetospheric waves (Thorne 2010).”
• The Plasma Wave Experiment (PWE) on board the Arase (ERG) satellite (2017, background): “2009; Thorne 2010; Turner et al.”
• Evolution and slow decay of an unusual narrow ring of relativistic electrons near L ~ 3.2 following the September 2012 magnetic storm (2013, background): “…on the nightside on 7 September and later on 19 September, but throughout this interval, the ring of relativistic electrons was located well inside the plasmasphere and was therefore protected from the highly dynamic changes occurring in the outer radiation belt [e.g., Thorne, 2010] at L> 4.”
• Global morphology and spectral properties of EMIC waves derived from CRRES observations (2014, background): “Gyroresonant wave-particle interactions play a key role in the acceleration and loss of relativistic electrons in the Earth’s radiation belts [e.g., Horne, 2002; Thorne, 2010].”
• Particle Dynamics in the Earth's Radiation Belts: Review of Current Research and Open Questions (2020, background): “Many theoretical, observational, and modeling studies have concluded that the internal process of gyroresonant wave‐particle interactions are an important cause of rapid electron energization to relativistic energies outside of the plasmasphere (Thorne, 2010).”
• Earth's Van Allen Radiation Belts: From Discovery to the Van Allen Probes Era (2019, background): “Magnetosonic waves are suggested to be another potential mechanism of accelerating radiation belt electrons through Landau resonance and transit‐time scattering (Bortnik et al., 2015; Bortnik & Thorne, 2010; Horne et al., 2007; J. Li, Ni, et al., 2014).”
• An unusual enhancement of low‐frequency plasmaspheric hiss in the outer plasmasphere associated with substorm‐injected electrons (2013, background): “Wave polarization properties (Figures 1e and 1f) indicate that these waves are plasmaspheric hiss rather than magnetosonic waves [e.g., Thorne, 2010], because they propagate in a quasi field-aligned direction and are predominantly circularly polarized with ellipticity close to 1.”
