Strong Effects of Chorus Waves on Radiation Belts Expected for Future Magnetic Superstorms

Hanzelka, Miroslav; Santolík, Ondřej; Wang, Dedong +4 more

Processes in the radiation belts under extreme geomagnetic conditions involve the interplay between acceleration and loss processes, both of which can be caused by wave-particle interactions. Whistler mode waves play a critical role in these interactions, and up to now their properties during extreme events remained poorly sampled and understood. …
