VLF waves from ground‐based transmitters observed by the Van Allen Probes: Statistical model and effects on plasmaspheric electrons

Abstract Whistler mode very low frequency (VLF) waves from powerful ground‐based transmitters can resonantly scatter energetic plasmaspheric electrons and precipitate them into the atmosphere. A comprehensive 4 year statistics of Van Allen Probes measurements is carried out to assess their consequen...
