A Statistical Survey of Radiation Belt Dropouts Observed by Van Allen Probes
Abstract A statistical analysis on the radiation belt dropouts is performed based on 4 years of electron phase space density data from the Van Allen Probes. The μ, K, and L* dependence of dropouts and their driving mechanisms and geomagnetic and solar wind conditions are investigated using electron...
