Global characteristics of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves: Occurrence rate and its storm dependence (2013, background): “The cyclotron resonance scattering is currently considered one of the leading loss mechanisms of radiation belt electrons [e.g., Onsager et al., 2002; Green et al., 2004; Bortnik et al., 2006; Onsager et al., 2007; Borovsky and Denton, 2009; Ebihara and Miyoshi, 2011; Turner et al., 2012], although ”
Global morphology and spectral properties of EMIC waves derived from CRRES observations (2014, background): “, 2013], but it is unlikely to be strong enough or persistent enough to give rise to the electron flux dropouts commonly seen during the storm main phase, as established by recent particle observations [Horne et al., 2009; Meredith et al., 2011; Turner et al., 2012].”
Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) (2013, background): “This effect can explain rapid depletion of electron fluxes over a broad region of the outer electron belt during storm main phase (e.g., Ukhorskiy et al. 2006; Turner et al. 2012).”
Earth's Van Allen Radiation Belts: From Discovery to the Van Allen Probes Era (2019, background): “…Proton Telescope; RBSP = Radiation Belt Storm Probes, LI AND HUDSON 8327 et al., 2013; Onsager et al., 2002; Shprits et al., 2006; Su et al., 2017; Turner et al., 2012; Turner, Angelopoulos, Li, et al., 2014; Turner, Angelopoulos, Morley, et al., 2014; Ukhorskiy et al., 2015; Xiang et al., 2017).”
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.”
On the storm‐time evolution of relativistic electron phase space density in Earth's outer radiation belt (2013, background): “…2004; Chen et al., 2007; Turner et al., 2012b], local acceleration within the outer belt [e.g., Miyoshi et al., 2003; Chen et al., 2007; Shprits et al., 2007; Turner et al., 2010; Schiller et al., 2012], and Mu-dependent L* distributions of PSD [e.g., Turner and Li, 2008; Turner et al., 2012b].”
Event‐specific chorus wave and electron seed population models in DREAM3D using the Van Allen Probes (2014, background): “…dropout of radiation belt electrons can be caused by outward radial diffusion combined with magnetopause shadowing [Reeves et al., 1998; Morley et al., 2010; Shprits et al., 2012; Turner et al., 2012] and/or enhanced electron precipitation into the atmosphere [Selesnick, 2006; Tu et al., 2010].”
Electron losses from the radiation belts caused by EMIC waves (2014, background): “However, satellite observations show no evidence for strong precipitation during the main phase of geomagnetic storms [Horne et al., 2009; Meredith et al., 2011; Turner et al., 2012].”
Particle Dynamics in the Earth's Radiation Belts: Review of Current Research and Open Questions (2020, background): “This is even more complicated when considering the complex PSD structures that arise during storms (e.g., Turner et al., 2012, 2013).”
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).”
Radiation belt electron acceleration by chorus waves during the 17 March 2013 storm (2014, background): “…loss due to the open drift trajectory [Chen et al., 2003], pitch angle scattering by hiss in plumes, which is more effective for lower energies [Li et al., 2007; Summers et al., 2008; Ni et al., 2013], and radial diffusion process [e.g., Perry et al., 2005; Turner et al., 2012], as discussed above.”
