Global model of Whistler Mode Chorus in the Near-Equatorial Region (|λ|m<18o)
Whistler mode chorus is an important magnetospheric emission, playing fundamental roles in the dynamics of the Earth''s outer radiation belt and the production of the Earth''s diffuse and pulsating aurora. In this study we extend our existing database of whistler mode chorus by including ~3 years of data from RBSP-A and RBSP-B and an additional ~6 years of data from THEMIS A, D, and E, greatly improving the statistics and coverage in the near-equatorial region (|MLAT|<18^o). We produce new global maps of whistler mode chorus as a function of spatial location and frequency. This work is reported in Meredith et al. [2020] and the data provided here enable reconstruction of all of the figures in the paper.
The research leading to these results has received funding from the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Highlight Topic grant NE/P01738X/1 (Rad-Sat) and the NERC grant NE/R016038/1. Wen Li and Xiao-Chen Shen received funding from NASA grants NNX17AG07G and 80NSSC19K0845, NSF grant AGS-1847818, and the Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship FG-2018-10936. Jacob Bortnik received funding from NASA grants NNX14AI18G, and RBSP-ECT and EMFISIS funding provided by JHU/APL contracts 967399 and 921647 under NASA''s prime contract NAS5-01072.
