• THEMIS analysis of observed equatorial electron distributions responsible for the chorus excitation (2010, background): “However, previous studies [e.g., Sazhin and Hayakawa, 1992; Meredith et al., 2003; Bortnik et al., 2007; Li et al., 2009a] showed that dayside chorus can extend to higher latitudes of 30° or more.”
• Modeling radiation belt electron dynamics during GEM challenge intervals with the DREAM3D diffusion model (2013, methodology): “The wave intensity distribution for each wave type is statistically derived from the CRRES wave data, which is binned by magnetic latitude (MLat), magnetic local time (MLT), L, and AE* (the mean value of AE over the previous 1 h [Li et al., 2009]).”
• Radiation belt dynamics: The importance of wave‐particle interactions (2010, methodology): “[7] A statistical analysis of the global distribution of chorus observed on the THEMIS spacecraft indicates that the spectral intensity is highly variable and responds to geomagnetic activity [Li et al., 2009a].”
• Resonant scattering of plasma sheet electrons leading to diffuse auroral precipitation: 2. Evaluation for whistler mode chorus waves (2011, methodology): “…mode chorus emissions in the low‐density plasma trough was investigated in detail during the two injection events of anisotropic plasma sheet electrons into the inner magnetosphere observed by the CRRES satellite [Li et al., 2008] and by the THEMIS spacecraft [Li et al., 2009b], respectively.”

• Modeling the evolution of chorus waves into plasmaspheric hiss (2011, background): “Chorus waves show MLT dependence, and usually occur in the night, dawn, and day sectors [Meredith et al., 2001, 2003; Li et al., 2009].”
• On the storm‐time evolution of relativistic electron phase space density in Earth's outer radiation belt (2013, background): “It is in this format because chorus distributions reveal a strong dependence on MLT [e.g., Li et al., 2009] but for these orbital trajectories during both events, the spacecraft were in the same MLT sector, between ~01:00 and 05:00MLT. Interestingly, on 01–04 February 2011, chorus waves with…”
