Claudia Martinez (Nagoya University, Japan) Review of recent multi-point observations of ELF/VLF waves from the PWING project

Claudia Martinez (Nagoya University, Japan) wird auf unserem IAP-Kolloquium einen Vortrag zum Thema "Review of recent multi-point observations of ELF/VLF waves from the PWING project" halten.

Zusammenfassung:

Natural Extremely Low and Very Low Frequency (ELF/VLF, f= 0.3 – 30 kHz) waves of magnetospheric origin play a major role in radiation belt dynamics. These waves can resonantly interact with energetic electrons in the keV range, accelerating electrons to higher energies or resulting in their loss in the atmosphere. Understanding how these waves propagate gives you an insight into the ever-changing particle population of the radiation belts.
Since 2016, the PWING network has allowed us to investigate, statistically and on the long term, the properties of ELF/VLF waves and their effects on the magnetosphere and ionosphere. We use multi-point observations to also gather information on the characteristics of the waves, their source region,  and their propagation. Here, we will introduce our most recent results.
