Ensemble Modeling of Radiation Belt Electron Flux Decay Following a Geomagnetic Storm: Dependence on Key Input Parameters by Man Hua, Jacob Bortnik, Adam C. Kellerman, Enrico Camporeale, Qianli Ma

“…Based on Van Allen Probes measurements, we use percentiles to sample distributions of the four key input parameters, which are the hiss wave amplitude Bw, hiss wave peak frequency fm, background magnetic field B0, and electron density Ne, with 11 points representing that range of each input, leading to 114 (∼14,600) ensemble members. By developing a Lookup Table method to rapidly calculate the time‐dependent diffusion coefficients, the changing wave environment at every time step is incorporated into our ensemble simulations. …”
