Dataset for "Simulating Electron Distribution Function in the Pulsation Aurora Using Particle and Wave Data of ARASE Satellite"

This is the dataset for the paper "Simulating Electron Distribution Function in the Pulsation Aurora Using Particle and Wave Data of ARASE Satellite" by George V. Khazanov, Qianli Ma, and Mike Chu, submitted to Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics. The dataset is organized for 4 time intervals (t0, t1, t2 and t3). For each interval, the data of Arase measurements to be used for STET simulation, and the diffusion coefficients are included. Abstract Decades lasting research on the pulsation aurora suggested that this phenomenon forms as result of interaction between the magnetospheric keVs electrons and whistler-mode chorus waves. Arase satellite observation reported the direct evidence for this process confirming in situ measurement of highly correlated precipitated electrons and chorus wave activity. This paper presents the theoretical analysis of this observational event based on SuperThermal Electron Transport (STET) code that simulates the highly dynamic environment of measured waves and particle data. Specifically, the STET code simulated results confirms the delicate loss-cone observation results of this mission and reveals the broader energy range of precipitated electron fluxes that was not measurable by Arase satellite.

本数据集对应乔治·V·卡扎诺夫（George V. Khazanov）、马千里（Qianli Ma）与迈克·楚（Mike Chu）提交至《地球物理研究杂志：空间物理学》（Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics）的论文《利用ARASE卫星粒子与波数据模拟脉动极光中的电子分布函数》。该数据集按4个时间区间（t0、t1、t2与t3）进行组织，每个区间均包含用于超热电子输运（SuperThermal Electron Transport, STET）模拟的ARASE卫星测量数据与扩散系数。
摘要：数十年针对脉动极光的持续研究表明，该现象源于磁层千电子伏级电子与哨声模式合声波的相互作用。ARASE卫星的观测数据为这一过程提供了直接证据，证实了沉降电子与合声波活动高度相关的原位测量结果。本文基于超热电子输运（STET）代码对该观测事件开展理论分析，该代码可模拟实测波与粒子数据的高度动态环境。具体而言，STET代码的模拟结果验证了该任务精妙的损失锥观测结果，并揭示了ARASE卫星无法测量的、范围更广的沉降电子能通量。
