• Modeling the evolution of chorus waves into plasmaspheric hiss (2011, background): “…inner (1.3 < L < 2.5) and outer (3 < L < 7) radiation belts [Lyons et al., 1972; Lyons and Thorne, 1973; Albert, 1994; Abel and Thorne, 1998a, 1998b] and controls the gradual decay of energetic outer belt electrons during quiet times [Meredith et al., 2007; Summers et al., 2007; Lam et al., 2007].”
• Global model of lower band and upper band chorus from multiple satellite observations (2012, background): “…is itself responsible for the formation of the slot region between the inner and outer radiation belts [Lyons and Thorne, 1973; Meredith et al., 2007, 2009] and the quiet time decay of energetic electrons in the outer radiation belt [Meredith et al., 2006a; Summers et al., 2007; Lam et al., 2007].”
• Three-dimensional simulations of outer radiation belt electron dynamics including cross-diffusion terms (2010, methodology): “A 25% drift averaging is applied for the calculation for both dayside chorus and nightside chorus since energetic electrons usually drift circularly about the Earth and intersect the chorus emission region for about 50% of their orbit [ Summers et al., 2007b ].”
• Timescales for radiation belt electron acceleration and loss due to resonant wave-particle interactions: 1. Theory (2007, methodology): “In the companion paper [Summers et al., 2007], we apply the results derived here to the interaction of radiation belt electrons with (1) R-mode VLF chorus waves”
• Resonant scattering and resultant pitch angle evolution of relativistic electrons by plasmaspheric hiss (2013, background): “…spectrum for hiss is also modeled as a Gaussian distribution, taking the form [e.g., Albert, 1994; Abel and Thorne, 1998;Meredith et al., 2006a; Summers et al., 2007, 2008] IB fð Þ ¼ A exp f f mΔf 2" # f lc ≤ f ≤ f ucð Þ; (2) where IB is the power spectral intensity of the wave magnetic field…”
• Three‐dimensional electron radiation belt simulations using the BAS Radiation Belt Model with new diffusion models for chorus, plasmaspheric hiss, and lightning‐generated whistlers (2014, background): “…is largely responsible for the formation of the slot region between the inner and outer radiation belts [Lyons and Thorne, 1973; Meredith et al., 2007, 2009] and the quiet time decay of energetic electrons in the outer radiation belt [Meredith et al., 2006a; Summers et al., 2007; Lam et al., 2007].”
• Survey of upper band chorus and ECH waves: Implications for the diffuse aurora (2009, background): “This emission is largely responsible for the formation of the slot region [e.g., Lyons and Thorne, 1973;Meredith et al., 2007, 2009], and the quiet time decay of radiation belt electrons in the inner region of the outer radiation belt [Meredith et al., 2006; Summers et al., 2007; Lam et al., 2007].”
• Resonant scattering of outer zone relativistic electrons by multiband EMIC waves and resultant electron loss time scales (2015, methodology): “…et al., 2010, 2011] and also driving losses of both ring current protons [e.g., Cornwall et al., 1970; Summers, 2005; Liang et al., 2014] and relativistic electrons [e.g., Thorne and Kennel, 1971; Summers and Thorne, 2003; Summers et al., 2007; Ma et al., 2015] via resonant pitch angle scattering.”
• Relativistic electron loss timescales in the slot region (2009, background): “Resonant wave-particle interactions with plasmaspheric hiss also contribute to the loss of outer radiation belt electrons during the main and recovery phases of storms [Lam et al., 2007; Summers et al., 2007 ] and are responsible for the quiet time decay of relativistic electrons in the inner porti”
• Resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons leading to diffuse auroral precipitation: 2. Evaluation for whistler mode chorus waves (2011, background): “A good estimate for the electron loss timescale is given by 1/hDaai where the bounce‐averaged electron pitch angle scattering rate hDaai is evaluated at the equatorial loss cone angle (aeq)LC [e.g., Shprits et al., 2006c; Summers et al., 2007b; Summers and Ni, 2008; Albert and Shprits, 2009].”
• Statistical properties of plasmaspheric hiss derived from Van Allen Probes data and their effects on radiation belt electron dynamics (2015, methodology): “The dash-dotted magenta line shows the previously frequently used Gaussian frequency distribution [e.g., Meredith et al., 2006; Summers et al., 2007; Thorne et al., 2013; Ni et al., 2013, 2014], which is expressed in terms of exp f fmΔf 2h i with the wave frequency corresponding to the maximum wave…”
• Van Allen probes, NOAA, GOES, and ground observations of an intense EMIC wave event extending over 12 h in magnetic local time (2015, background): “Most theoretical studies have focused on the effectiveness of storm time dusk sector EMICwaves in high-density regions for pitch angle scattering relativistic electrons [e.g., Summers and Thorne, 2003; Summers et al., 2007a, 2007b; Jordanova et al., 2008; Chen et al., 2011].”
