Quantifying Energetic Particle Precipitation Driven by Magnetospheric Waves
Particle precipitation into the upper atmosphere is an important loss process in the Earth's inner magnetosphere and the driver of pulsating and diffuse aurora. Magnetospheric waves, which play a dominant role in causing energetic electron precipitation loss, include whistler-mode chorus, plasmaspheric hiss, lightning generated whistlers, VLF transmitter waves, ElectroMagnetic Ion Cyclotron (EMIC) waves, etc. We study the quantitative roles of various plasma waves in energeti
