Energy distribution and lifetime of magnetospherically reflecting whistlers in the plasmasphere

Using ray tracing and Landau damping calculations based on recent data on suprathermal particle fluxes from the HYDRA instrument aboard the POLAR satellite, we estimate the energy distribution and the lifetimes of 0.2–10 kHz whistler mode waves in the plasmasphere. The rays are injected at 1000 km a...
