• Resonant scattering and resultant pitch angle evolution of relativistic electrons by plasmaspheric hiss (2013, methodology): “In addition, the power evolution of each individual ray is carefully evaluated along each raypath by calculating Landau damping rates due to a modeled suprathermal electron distribution (100 eV to a few keV) based on THEMIS measurements [Li et al., 2010].”
• Statistical properties of plasmaspheric hiss derived from Van Allen Probes data and their effects on radiation belt electron dynamics (2015, background): “This is probably because during active times, suprathermal electron fluxes are larger on the nightside, which causes stronger Landau damping of whistler mode waves [Bortnik et al., 2007; Li et al., 2010] and thus limits the ability of chorus waves to propagate into the plasmasphere and evolve into p”
• Modeling the evolution of chorus waves into plasmaspheric hiss (2011, methodology): “…[2002] was found to hold only deep inside the plasmasphere, whereas closer to the plasmapause the suprathermal fluxes tend to increase rapidly [see Li et al., 2010, Figure 4], which has implications for the Landau damping of obliquely propagating rays that approach the inner edge of the…”
• Global model of lower band and upper band chorus from multiple satellite observations (2012, background): “Nevertheless, the most favorable conditions for acceleration to relativistic energies are likely to remain near the plasmapause where fpe/fce is low [Li et al., 2010b].”
