Properties of relativistic electron precipitation: a comparative analysis of wave-induced and field line curvature scattering processes

We analyze the properties of relativistic (>700 keV) electron precipitation (REP) events measured by the low-Earth-orbit (LEO) POES/MetOp constellation of spacecraft from 2012 through 2023. Leveraging the different profiles of REP observed at LEO, we associate each event with its possible dri...
