Conclusions to Date for 8 Oct 13 E_phi ~ 10 mV/m common with CME shocks Energetic source population in outer zone is critical for significant drift resonant transport to produce new belts: electron v_phi ~ V_alfven req 8 Oct 2013 had both: source pop & Ephi 10mV/m Not a large Ephi event, persistent ULF oscillations: Comparable: 17 March 2013 simulations~10 mV/m ULF wave mode structure consistent with FLRs: Lower f at higher L favors drift resonance w/lower energy electrons at higher L, remaining drift res with higher f modes as they are transported inward; inward m’pause motion causes flux dropout at high L as obs Reference: Hudson et al., GRL, 2014 for Sept-Oct 2012 dropout simulations; GEM RBW focus group presentation - Mon 6/16 for 17 March & 8 Oct 13 results
