英文摘要 | Whistler mode chorus waves are responsible for electron acceleration in Earth's radiation belts. It is unclear, however, whether the observed acceleration is still well described by quasi-linear theory, or if this acceleration is due to intense waves that require nonlinear treatment. Here, we perform a comprehensive statistical analysis of intense lower-band chorus wave packets to investigate the relationships between wave frequency variations, packet length, and wave amplitude, and their temporal variability. We find that 15% of the wave power is carried by long packets, with low frequency sweep rates (linear trend in time) that agree with the nonlinear theory of chorus wave growth. Eighty-five percent of the wave power, however, comes from short packets with large frequency variations around the linear trend. The kappa-like probability distribution of these variations is consistent with random superposition of different waves that could result in a destruction of nonlinear resonant interaction. ©2020.
