The minimum resonant energy Emin, resonant wave frequency w, and pitch angle diffusion coefficient Daa were calculated at the center location of the symmetrical ring current: r ≈3.5RE with RE the Earth's radius. Emin is found to decrease rapidly from 10 MeV to a few keV with the increase in ca in three bands: H^+-band, He^+-band and O^+-band. Moreover, EMIC waves have substantial potential to scatter energetic (~100 keV) ions (mainly H^+ and He^+) into the loss cone and yield precipitation loss, suggesting that wave-particle interactions contribute to ring current decay.展开更多

After an enhancement of solar wind dynamic pressure (SWDP), a day- side Pcl pulsation was observed by the OUL station. Such a Pcl pulsation is caused by an EMIC wave which propagates from the generation source to lower altitudes. Simultaneously, the NOAA 15 satellite registered an enhancement of precipitating electron count rates with energies 〉3 MeV within the anisotropic zone of protons. This phenomenon is coincident with the quasi-linear theoretical calculation presented in this paper. Our observations suggest that after a positive impulse of solar wind, the compression-related EMIC waves can drive relativistic electrons precipitation and play a pivotal role in the dynamic of ra- diation belts.展开更多
