Global effects of transmitted shock wave propagation through the Earth's inner magnetosphere: First results from 3-D hybrid kinetic modeling

摘要: Abstract We use a new hybrid kinetic model to simulate the response of ring current, outer radiation belt, and plasmaspheric particle populations impulsive interplanetary shocks. Since distributions attending shock waves in current belts are non-Maxwellian, wave–particle interactions play crucial role energy transport within inner magnetosphere. Finite gyroradius effects become important mass loading with background plasma presence higher belt ions electrons. Initial results show that shocks cause strong deformations global structure plasmasphere. The ion velocity distribution functions at front, help us determine through Earth's
