BAS-RBM simulations of ultra-relativistic electron acceleration in Earth's radiation belts using a coupled plasma density model
The data set contains electron flux measurements from the Van Allen Probes A and B satellites, from the REPT, MagEIS and HOPE instruments for the period 2014-10-18 to 2014-10-28, a set of BAS-RBM simulations covering the same time period, and plasma density dependent chorus diffusion coefficients used to drive the BAS-RBM. The output of a coupled-density model is also included. When coupled with the density model, the density dependent chorus diffusion coefficients improve the BAS-RBM reproduction of ultra-relativistic electron acceleration.

Methodology:
The VAP-A ephemera and electron flux data from the VAP L4 data set were accessed via https://rbsp-ect.newmexicoconsortium.org/science/DataDirectories.php. The simulated electron fluxes are the output of the BAS-RBM. The diffusion coefficients were taken from Wong et al. 2024 (https://doi.org/10.1029/2023JA031607)
Data collection:
The satellite data were recorded by the Van Allen Probes (VAP) REPT, MagEIS and HOPE instruments. The simulations were performed using BAS-RBM version 6.2 modified to be driven by time varying density data.
Data quality:
NaN values in the VAP electron flux data represent times when data was not recorded
