Description:
Article The processes influencing the Van Allen belt – a layer of charged particles inside the Earth’s magnetosphere – are poorly understood. Using CRRES and NASA’s Van Allen Probes data, Mann et al. suggest that ultra-low frequency waves may play a larger role in accelerating particles than previously thought.
