| Session Description | The Earth's dynamical inner magnetosphere consists of several different plasma populations known as the radiation belts, ring current, plasmasphere and ionosphere. Cross-regional and cross-energy coupling processes are a key concept to understand various phenomena of the inner magnetosphere, so that comprehensive understanding of the inner magnetosphere is essential. Moreover, understanding and forecast of the dynamics of radiation belt particles are an important subject of the space weather study. This session invites papers on newly results from Van Allen Probes, ground-based observations, and simulation studies to understand various processes and consequence. Especially, this session welcomes submissions on how each phenomenon of the inner magnetosphere is related to other plasma populations, waves and regions. Presentations on planned projects are also welcome. |
