1. Observations of solitary waves in the stable atmospheric boundary layer

   Large amplitude, isolated, wave-like phenomena have been observed in the lowest 40 m of the strongly stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer overlying a coastal Antarctic ice shelf. The waves only […]

2. Mechanisms for the acceleration of radiation belt electrons

   During the declining phase of the solar cycle fast solar wind streams produce corotating interaction regions (CIRs) that drive moderate geomagnetic storms. These storms often have an unusually long recovery […]

4. Substorm dependence of plasmaspheric hiss

   We analyze wave and particle data from the CRRES satellite to determine the variability of plasmaspheric hiss (0.1 < f < 2 kHz) with respect to substorm activity as measured […]

5. Modeling outer-zone relativistic electron response to whistler-mode chorus activity during substorms

   Understanding the behavior of relativistic electrons in the Earth’s outer radiation belt during substorms and storms is a current challenge in magnetospheric physics. In this paper, we model energetic electron […]

6. Diffuse auroral electron scattering by electron cyclotron harmonic and whistler mode waves during an isolated substorm

   There are two main theories for the origin of diffuse auroral electron precipitation: precipitation by electrostatic ECH waves and precipitation by whistler mode waves. Here we analyze a case event […]

7. Evidence for chorus-driven electron acceleration to relativistic energies from a survey of geomagnetically disturbed periods

   [1] We perform a survey of the plasma wave and particle data from the CRRES satellite during 26 geomagnetically disturbed periods to investigate the viability of a local stochastic electron […]

8. Evolution of energetic electron pitch angle distributions during storm time electron acceleration to megaelectronvolt energies

   We investigate the pitch angle distributions of 0.15-1.58 MeV electrons observed during the 9-15 October 1990 storm measured by the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) spacecraft. This storm […]

9. Favored regions for chorus-driven electron acceleration to relativistic energies in the Earth’s outer radiation belt

   [1] Pitch angle and energy diffusion rates for scattering by whistler-mode chorus waves are proportional to the wave magnetic field intensity and are strongly dependent on the frequency distribution of […]

10. Statistical analysis of relativistic electron energies for cyclotron resonance with EMIC waves observed on CRRES

    Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves which propagate at frequencies below the proton gyrofrequency can undergo cyclotron resonant interactions with relativistic electrons in the outer radiation belt and cause pitch-angle scattering […]
