The THEMIS Mission (2008, background): “…(Li et al. 2001), but it is unclear whether such an electron source is indeed present beyond geosynchronous altitude at storm recovery or whether local acceleration of inner magnetosphere cold/warm electrons by ULF or VLF waves may play a role (e.g., Friedel et al. 2002; Millan and Thorne 2007).”
Influence of the Precipitating Energetic Particles on Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate (2012, methodology): “The contours are plotted for: -30, -20, -10, -5, 0, 5, 10, 20 m. Color pattern indicates the regions where the changes are judged statistically significant at or better than 10 % level 496 Surv Geophys (2012) 33:483–501”

Discovery of very large amplitude whistler‐mode waves in Earth's radiation belts (2008, methodology): “Corroborating evidence of rapid (<1s) scattering is provided by observations of short-time scale variations in loss rates (‘microbursts’) of MeV electrons by SAMPEX simultaneous with the STEREO observations [Blake et al., 1996; Millan and Thorne, 2007; J. B. Blake, private communication, 2007].”
Explaining sudden losses of outer radiation belt electrons during geomagnetic storms (2012, background): “Such losses ultimately occur to either the atmosphere or the magnetosphere’s outer boundary, the magnetopaus”
The Electric and Magnetic Field Instrument Suite and Integrated Science (EMFISIS) on RBSP (2013, background): “…of radiation belt electrons with an accompanying loss of energy, which in turn causes an adiabatic decrease in radiation belt flux (e.g., Kim and Chan 1997) in addition to loss by scattering into the atmosphere (Millan and Thorne 2007) and transport to the magnetopause (Ukhorskiy et al. 2006).”
Earth's Van Allen Radiation Belts: From Discovery to the Van Allen Probes Era (2019, background): “This boundary is correlated with the inner edge of the outer zone and with different wave modes acting to produce atmospheric loss inside and outside the plasmapause (Millan & Thorne, 2007).”
