A Tale of Two Radiation Belts: The Energy‐Dependence of Self‐Limiting Electron Space Radiation

Abstract The flux of energetic electrons in the terrestrial Van Allen Belts varies by orders of magnitude during a magnetic storm. Here, we show how the dynamics of these electrons are clearly separated by energy into two distinct populations which are governed by different storm time behavior. We r...
