Understanding the properties, wave drivers, and impacts of electron microburst precipitation: current understanding and critical knowledge gaps
Understanding and quantifying the underlying causes and consequences plus relative importance of microburst precipitation represent outstanding questions in radiation belt physics. Important questions remain about the nature of the resonance generating the microbursts and the overall importance of the precipitation.
