ELECTRON PRECIPITATION PULSATIONS,
Abstract
When high frequency wave turbulence is present, low frequency micropulsations can strongly modulate the high frequency wave amplitudes, leading to finite amplitude pulsations in the loss rate of energetic electrons from the magnetosphere. An extremely idealized model suggests that the precipitation modulation depends exponentially on the micropulsation amplitude, when the micropulsation period is less than the electron precipitation lifetime.
