Short summary
From the statistical analysis of potential plasmaspheric plume, we find that there is almost no correlation between plume width and the level of geomagnetic storm intensity. However, for plumes in the recovery phase after improved sifting, there is a negative correlation between the plume width and absolute value of minimum Dst during the storm. We suggest that the plasmaspheric particles may escape quickly during intense storms, causing plume to be relatively narrow during the recovery phase.

The plasmaspheric plume is an important region of detached plasma elements and provides an effective coupling channel of energy/mass between the inner magnetospheric plasmasphere and outer magnetosphere. In this study, using Van Allen Probe data, we present a statistical result of plasmaspheric plumes in the inner magnetosphere, which implies that the plumes tend to occur during the recovery phase of geomagnetic storms, and the occurrence rate is larger during stronger geomagnetic activity.

Short summary
It has been shown that guide fields substantially modify the structure of reconnection layers. In this paper, we studied the electric field structures in magnetic reconnection under different initial guide fields (Bg). Once the amplitude of a guide field exceeds 0.3 times the asymptotic magnetic field B0, the traditional bipolar Hall electric field is clearly replaced by a tripolar electric field, which consists of a newly emerged electric field and the bipolar Hall electric field.

With observations of the Cluster spacecraft, we report in situ evidence of energetic ions scattered into the loss cone during the inbound pass from the plasma sheet into the plasmasphere. Our results suggest that energetic ions scattering into the loss cone in the central plasma sheet and the outer boundary of the plasmaspheric plume are attributed to the field line curvature scattering mechanism and EMIC wave scattering mechanism, respectively.

We derive the wave–particle interaction time (IT) equation considering the effects of special relativity theory for whistler-mode chorus waves and relativistic electrons in Earth's radiation belt. Results show that IT has a non-linear dependence on the wave group velocity, electrons' energy, and initial pitch angle. Our results show that the interaction time is generally longer when applying the complete relativistic approach compared to a non-relativistic calculation.

We present a new in situ observation of energetic electrons in space obtained by a newly available particle detector. In view of the characteristic signatures in the particle flux, we attribute the observational features to the drift-resonance wave–particle interaction between energetic electrons and multiple localized ultra-low-frequency waves. The scenario is substantiated by a numerical calculation based on the revised drift-resonance theory which reproduced the observed particle signatures.

Short summary
Space plasmas are assumed to be highly active and dynamic systems including waves and turbulence. Electromagnetic waves such as Alfven waves interact with one another, producing daughter waves. In our study based on three-dimensional hybrid simulations, we emphasize the role of obliquely propagating daughter waves in particle heating in low-temperature (or low-beta) plasmas. The evolutions of plasma turbulence, wave dissipation, and heating are essential problems in astrophysics.

We reveal previously unknown quasi-periodic (QP) VLF emissions at the unusually high-frequency band of ~ 7–11 kHz by applying the digital filtering of strong sferics to the ground-based VLF data recorded at Kannuslehto station (KAN). In one event, the spectral–temporal forms of the emissions looked like a series of giant
bullets, with very abrupt cessation. In the second event, the modulation period was about 3 min under the absence of the simultaneous geomagnetic pulsations.

Short summary
We report an event where hiss wave intensity decreased, associated with the enhanced convection and a substorm. We suggest that the enhanced magnetospheric electric field causes the outward and sunward motion of energetic electrons. This leads to the decrease of energetic electron fluxes on the duskside, which provide free energy for hiss amplification. The study reveals the important role of magnetospheric electric field in the variation of the energetic electron flux and hiss wave intensity.
