    Description: Microbursts are impulsive injections of energetic (few keV to MeV) electrons into the atmosphere, primarily caused by nonlinear scattering by whistler mode chorus waves. While the relative importance of microburst precipitation as a loss process has not been fully quantified, many studies have shown microbursts may be a major loss source for outer radiation belt electrons. Conjunction observations between the FIREBIRD II CubeSats and Van Allen Probes (RBSP) from 2015 – 2019 have presented the opportunity to quantify the importance of microburst precipitation. We utilize this conjunction dataset, along with additional observations of chorus and microburst precipitation, when available, to constrain the size of the microburst-producing chorus region. We will present statistical results for the upper and lower bounds on the size of the region. Additionally, we will discuss wave properties, including amplitude, wave normal angle, duration, and microburst properties including flux and duration to further understand the observable dependence.

    Description: Chorus waves play an important role in the dynamic evolution of energetic electrons in the Earth’s radiation belts and ring current. Due to the orbit limitation of Van Allen Probes, our previous chorus wave model developed using Van Allen Probe data is limited to low latitude. In this study, we extend the chorus wave model to higher latitudes by combining measurements from the Van Allen Probes and Arase satellite. As a first step, we intercalibrate chorus wave measurements by comparing statistical features of chorus wave observations from Van Allen Probes and Arase missions. We first investigate the measurements in the same latitude range during the two years of overlap between the Van Allen Probe data and the Arase data. We find that the statistical intensity of chorus waves from Van Allen Probes is stronger than those from Arase observations. After the intercalibration, we combine the chorus wave measurements from the two satellite missions and develop an analytical chorus wave model which covers all magnetic local time and extends to higher latitudes. This chorus wave model will be further used in radiation belt and ring current simulations.
