Dataset of ``Nonlinear Dynamics and Auroral Acceleration Processes of Electrons Driven by Kinetic Alfvén Waves in the Magnetosphere"

This dataset contains the program codes, numerical data, and figures created and used in the paper ``Nonlinear Dynamics and Auroral Acceleration Processes of Electrons Driven by Kinetic Alfvén Waves in the Magnetosphere'' by K. Saito et al. (2025).

The zip file open_source_in_zenodo.tar.bz2 contains the following directories and files.

program_code: Python programs to create the figures from the numerical data files in other directories.

test_particle_simulation_Section3_forpaper/(initial wave phase per pi)_pi/(initial kinetic energy)eV_(initial pitch angle)deg_1.00deg(.nc/.png/_contour.png): Numerical data files (netCDF4), PNG figures about electron trajectories, and the force of a parallel electric field component, such as in Figures 3-5.

These figures are created by the program of program_code/test_particle_simulation_Section3_plot_for_paper.py.

test_particle_simulation_detrapped_phase_edgedefinition_forpaper/auroral_precipitation/: Numerical data file and PNG figures in Figures 8 and 9.

Figure 8 is created by the program of program_code/initial_position_of_precipitating_electrons_plot_for_paper.py.

Figure 9 is created by the program of program_code/test_particle_simulation_detrapped_phase_edgedefinition_auroral_precipitation_for_paper.py.
