Fig. 7From: Simulation study of near-Earth space disturbances: 1. magnetic stormsExample of ring current-radiation belt coupling. Top panels show proton and electron pitch angle distributions observed by the Polar satellite. Bottom panels show proton pitch angle distribution obtained by simulation.
