The Dynamic Loss of Earth's Radiation Belts
From Loss in the Magnetosphere to Particle Precipitation in the Atmosphere
Description
Key Features
- Examines both the causes and effects of particle loss in the magnetosphere from multiple perspectives
- Presents interdisciplinary content that bridges the gap, through communication and collaboration, between the magnetospheric and atmospheric communities
- Fills a gap in the literature by focusing on loss in the radiation belt, which is especially timely based on data from the Van Allen Probes, the Magnetospheric Multiscale Mission, and other projects
- Includes contributions from various experts in the field that is organized and collated by a clear-and-consistent editorial team
Readership
Magnetospheric and atmospheric science communities. These individuals are considered to be from two disciplines: Space Science and Earth Science
