The ERG simulation/integrated studies (PI: K. Seki) ・ simulation/integrated studies global simulation of the radiation belts Miyoshi et al. [2006] Comprehensive simulations including both micro wave-particle interaction and macro processes, which can be compared with the observations, are necessary for the ERG project. As one of the activity of the simulation/integrated studies, Nagoya University starts the new modeling/integrated study project : GEMSIS. micro simulation Katoh and Omura [2007]
