Proton Precipitation and Electromagnetic Ion Cyclotron Waves Associated with Substorm Injections

Abstract

The correlation between the parameters of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves in Earth’s magnetosphere and the parameters of trapped and precipitating ring current ions is analyzed using the example of a single event. It is shown that the observed energies and the degree of isotropy of proton fluxes at low altitudes correspond to the results from calculating the coefficient of pitch-angle diffusion using data on ion cyclotron wave parameters.
