Understanding Non-Gaussian Chorus Wave Statistics via the Benjamin-Feir Index
D. J. Ratliff, O. Allanson, D. Rasinskaite +4
We derive an extended wave action model for equatorial chorus waves, identifying a wave activity index (a version of the Benjamin-Feir index, BFI) which indicates non-Gaussian freq…

Inertial-Range Energy Transfer Free from Isotropic Assumption in Turbulent Space Plasma
Zhuoran Gao, Yan Yang, Francesco Pecora +5
The idea of an energy cascade in the inertial range is often invoked in turbulent space plasmas to estimate the energy dissipation rate. Laws governing the behavior of third-order…
