• The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) on RBSP (2013, background): “Chorus is important because it plays a dual role in both the loss and local acceleration of radiation belt electrons (Bortnik and Thorne 2007) and is the dominant scattering process leading to diffuse auroral precipitation (Ni et al. 2008; Nishimura et al. 2010; Thorne et al. 2010).”

• THEMIS analysis of observed equatorial electron distributions responsible for the chorus excitation (2010, background): “Such distributions, which could lead to the excitation of upper‐ band chorus, can be produced during convective transport toward the dayside by the preferential scattering loss of 9 of 16 electrons at low pitch angles during resonant interactions with chorus waves [Ni et al., 2008; Su et al., 2009].”
