BAS-RBM simulations of ultra-relativistic electron acceleration in Earth's radiation belts using a coupled plasma density model

The data set contains electron flux measurements from the Van Allen Probes A and B satellites, from the REPT, MagEIS and HOPE instruments for the period 2014-10-18 to 2014-10-28, a set of BAS-RBM simulations covering the same time period, and plasma density dependent chorus diffusion coefficients used to drive the BAS-RBM. The output of a coupled-density model is also included. When coupled with the density model, the density dependent chorus diffusion coefficients improve the BAS-RBM reproduction of ultra-relativistic electron acceleration.
