Summary:
Chorus waves have been suspected for some time now to be the dominant cause of relativistic microbursts, which represent an important source of electron loss from the outer radiation belt. Due to a prior scarcity of temporally- and spatially-connected observations of the waves causing the scattering (in the magnetosphere) and the resulting precipitation (observable at low Earth orbit), details of the scattering process are largely unknown. To address this scarcity, in recent years the FIREBIRD CubeSat and Van Allen Probes Electric Fields and Waves teams have worked closely to produce a novel conjunction dataset that now consists of more than 150 days of conjunctions with >100 hours of simultaneous high time resolution burst waveform and high time and energy resolution electron flux measurements. This combined dataset is the first of its kind that will allow a strongly constrained intercomparison of the microburst creation process. Because the scattering likely occurs away from the chorus observations, available conjunction observations alone are unable to fully characterize this scattering process. We will fill this observational gap by applying our recently developed sophisticated chorus wave model and test particle simulation tool to the conjunction dataset. Specifically, we will achieve the following objectives:Performance Year | Reference | Investigation Type | Actions |
