The influences of solar wind pressure and interplanetary magnetic field on global magnetic field and outer radiation belt electrons

Abstract Using the Van Allen Probe in situ measured magnetic field and electron data, we examine the solar wind dynamic pressure and interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) effects on global magnetic field and outer radiation belt relativistic electrons (≥1.8 MeV). The dynamic pressure enhancements (>...
