Particle Acceleration, Transport, and Loss in the Radiation Belts - 2012 AGU Fall Meeting

Explore particle acceleration, transport, and loss processes in Earth's radiation belts and ring current through this comprehensive 2-hour conference session from the 2012 AGU Fall Meeting. Delve into multipoint measurements of anisotropic electrons, whistler waves, and radiation belt electrons. Examine the latest findings from the Radiation Belt Storm Probes mission, including results from the EMFISIS and ECT instrument suites. Investigate inner radiation belt particle acceleration and energy structuring by drift resonance with ULF waves during geomagnetic storms. Analyze simulation studies of particle dynamics in the radiation belts and ring current. Learn about Pc 1-2 waves observed at geosynchronous orbit and on the ground at subauroral latitudes, and their dependence on local time and storm phase. Discover the effects of MLT-dependent electron loss rates on inner magnetosphere electrodynamics and plasma sheet penetration. Gain insights into electric fields and waves in the dynamic inner magnetosphere through invited talks and detailed presentations on various aspects of radiation belt physics.
