• Electron losses from the radiation belts caused by EMIC waves (2014, background): “This enables the EMIC waves to resonate with high-energy electrons at energies greater than about 500 keV [Meredith et al., 2003] and thereby causing losses due to pitch angle scattering into the loss cone.”

• Space Weather Effects in the Earth’s Radiation Belts (2018, background): “Electromagnetic ion-cyclotron (EMIC) waves are driven by unstable ring current proton distributions (e.g. Anderson and Hamilton 1993) and are able to produce losses of the very highest-energy radiation belt electrons and protons (Meredith et al. 2003).”
• Helium, Oxygen, Proton, and Electron (HOPE) Mass Spectrometer for the Radiation Belt Storm Probes Mission (2013, background): “However, questions remain as to whether the interaction always produces EMIC waves and, if so, whether those waves cause radiation belt dropouts (e.g. Meredith et al. 2003; Turner et al. 2012).”
