Radiation Belt Electron Precipitation: Recent BARREL Observations and Future Missions

Resonant wave-particle interactions with plasma waves (e.g. plasmaspheric hiss, whistler mode chorus, and electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves) are often cited as one of the main loss processes that drive the variability of electron fluxes in the Earth's radiation belts . The evolution of our understanding of the radiation belt electron precipitation, the driving mechanism for such events, a...
