| Abstract: | Pc 5 ULF waves are seen concurrently with the rise in radiation belt fluxes associated with CME magnetic cloud events. A 3D global MHD simulation of the 10–11 January, 1997 event has been analyzed for mode structure and shown to contain field line resonance components, both toroidal and poloidal, with peak power on the nightside during southward IMF conditions. A mechanism for inward radial transport and first-invariant conserving acceleration of relativistic electrons is assessed in the context of ULF mode structure analysis, and compared with groundbased and satellite observations. |
