Electron Energization Signatures in Traveling Kinetic Alfvén Waves at Storm Time Injection Fronts

Abstract The properties of traveling kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) and their role in energizing electrons in the inner magnetosphere during a geomagnetic storm are examined using measurements from the Van Allen Probes and Gyrofluid‐Kinetic Electron (GKE) model simulations. Traveling KAWs occur in the...
