Understanding the properties, wave drivers, and impacts of electron microburst precipitation: Current understanding and critical knowledge gaps

Microbursts are impulsive (<1s) injections of very energetic to relativistic electrons (energies from a few keV to MeV) into Earth’s atmosphere. They are important because they may represent a major loss process for the outer radiation belt (Ripoll and Claudepierre and Ukhorskiy and Colpitts...
