Statistical survey of pitch angle anisotropy of relativistic electrons in the outer radiation belt and its variation with solar wind/geomagnetic activity

Statistical survey of pitch angle anisotropy of relativistic electrons in the outer radiation belt and its variation with solar wind/geomagnetic activity

IntroductionIn this study, we use 7 years (2012–2019) of pitch angle resolved electron flux measurements from Van Allen Probe-B spacecraft to study the variation of near-equatorial pitch angle distributions (PADs) of outer radiation belt (L ≥ 3) relativistic electrons (E ≥ 0.5 MeV) with different le...
