Abstract
Understanding the dynamics of energetic electrons in the radiation belts is key to protect space borne equipment and astronauts on-board spacecraft missions. Therefore, global reconstruction of the near-Earth radiation environment should be available at all times and locations. Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites provide large data sets of the radiation belt region over a wide range of magnetic local times. However, the use of these data is complicated due to contamination of electron fluxes by protons and precipitating particles, leading to high variability of electron measurements, considerable instrumental errors and the need for background correction. In this study, we present a new intercalibration method for satellite measurements of energetic electrons in the radiation belts using data assimilation. We intercalibrate electron flux measurements of POES satellites against RBSP observations...Authors (sorted by name)
