Outline Motivation – Goal Data and analysis Selected Events and Results Conclusions EGU General Assembly, 25 April 2017, Vienna, Austria.

Motivation – Goal Assess the contribution of various mechanisms to the variability of the outer Radiation Belt (e.g. inward diffusion, in-situ acceleration via wave-particle interactions, precipitation into atmosphere, magnetopause shadowing combined with outward diffusion) . Investigate the impact of ICMEs and HSSs on the dynamics of relativistic electrons. EGU General Assembly, 25 April 2017, Vienna, Austria.

Data and Methodology Electron PSD Pc5 waves (2 < f < 7 mHz) The electron PSD distribution is calculated from differential fluxes as a function of fixed adiabatic invariants using the method described by Chen et al., 2005, 2007. Pc5 waves (2 < f < 7 mHz) Pc5 wave power is calculated from magnetic field measurements using the method described by Balasis et al., 2013. Lower-band Chorus waves (0.1fe < f < 0.5fe) Chorus wave power is estimated from the POES measurements of precipitating electron fluxes using the method described by Li et al., 2013.

Conclusions Losses through the magnetopause can occur even for limited compression of the magnetopause due to outward diffusion driven by Pc5 waves. This is a dominant loss mechanism for equatorially mirroring electron. The comparison of two contradicting events shows that – for similar duration and power – acceleration by chorus waves exceeds outward diffusion driven by Pc5 activity. This occurs for all intense storm events. EGU General Assembly, 25 April 2017, Vienna, Austria.

Conclusions From the 61 storm events: 18% resulted in PSD losses (dominated by HSS driven and weak storms), 65% resulted in PSD increase (dominated by ICME driven storms) and 17% had μ- and K-dependent results. During such events we have increase of the lower μ electron population and decrease of the higher μ electron population with no profound electron precipitation. EGU General Assembly, 25 April 2017, Vienna, Austria.

Conclusions In ~85% of events, Poloidal and Toroidal mode waves are well correlated with the AL index and thus the substorm activity. On the other hand, Compressional mode waves are well correlated with Sym-H index and solar wind pressure. EGU General Assembly, 25 April 2017, Vienna, Austria.
