Persistent EMIC Wave Activity Across the Nightside Inner Magnetosphere

Abstract

AbstractElectromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves can act as a loss process for both ring current ions and radiation belt electrons, and the spatial and temporal characteristics of these waves are important for quantifying their effects on energetic particles. Here we utilize observations from multiple spacecraft to constrain the azimuthal and radial dimensions as well as the duration of an EMIC wave event occurring on the nightside of the inner magnetosphere on 7 July 2013. These combined observations reveal waves limited to a narrow radial extent but persisting ~10+ hr and spanning ~12 hr in local time. The solar wind conditions, geomagnetic activity, and plasma environment are also examined to better understand the conditions under which persistent nightside EMIC waves can occur. Relativistic electron phase space density profiles during this event reveal local minima concurrent with the wave activity, consistent with EMIC‐driven scattering and loss of radiation belt electrons.
