摘要:By simulating the energy and pitch angle diffusions of radiation belt electrons caused by ground-based VLF transmitter waves, plasmaspheric hiss and lightning-generated whistlers (LGWs), we quantitatively estimated the electron change rates caused by individual and multiple waves. We found that man-made VLF waves and naturally generated hiss or LGWs play complementary and catalytic roles in the loss of radiation belt electrons. Man-made VLF waves mainly reduce the hundreds of keV electrons in inner radiation belt (L < 2), but they alone cannot effectively remove the MeV electrons in slot regio
