Evidence of strong diffusion of radiation belt electrons in satellite data, and numerical simulations of strong diffusion using the BAS-RBM 2D.

The data set contains ephemera for the Van Allen Probes A satellite (VAP-A) and the Polar Operational Environmental Satellites (POES) m01 and n19 for the period 2013-03-17 to 2013-03-18. Chorus wave intensities calculated from data from the VAP-A EMFISIS instrument and trapped and precipitating electron fluxes calculated from the POES MEPED instruments are included in order to demonstrate the existence of conditions producing strong diffusion of electrons. Electron fluxes and phase space densities from simulations of strong diffusion performed using the BAS-RBM 2D are also include.

本数据集包含2013年3月17日至2013年3月18日期间，范艾伦探针A星（Van Allen Probes A, VAP-A）以及极轨业务环境卫星（Polar Operational Environmental Satellites, POES）的m01与n19两颗星的瞬态观测数据。其中包含由VAP-A搭载的EMFISIS探测仪器数据计算得到的合声波强度，以及由POES搭载的MEPED探测仪器数据计算得到的捕获电子通量与沉降电子通量，用于佐证能够引发电子强扩散的空间环境条件的存在。本数据集同时纳入了使用BAS-RBM 2D开展强扩散模拟得到的电子通量与相空间密度数据。本材料基于美国空军科学研究办公室（Air Force Office of Scientific Research）编号为FA9550-19-1-7039的资助项目成果。Richard Horne与Sarah Glauert还获得了自然环境研究委员会（Natural Environment Research Council, NERC）的Sat-Risk项目拨款NE/V00249X/1以及国家与公共利益活动拨款NE/R016445/1的支持。Giulio Del Zanna感谢英国科学与技术设施理事会（STFC）通过剑桥大学应用数学与理论物理系（DAMTP）天体物理研究组的综合拨款ST/T000481/1提供的资助。Jay Albert感谢NASA拨款编号80NSSC20K1270提供的资助。
