Characteristic times for radiation belt drift phase mixing

Impulsive radial transport events occurring in the radiation belts leave lasting marks in the form of drift echoes, that is, energy-dependent drift phase structures in the radiation belts that evolve at the drift frequency. Drift echoes are known to be transient structures that dissipate due to phas...
