Abstract [en]
Wave-particle interactions are essential for energy transport in the magnetosphere. In this study, we investigated an event during which electrons interact simultaneously with waves in different scales, using data from the Magnetospheric Multiscale mission. At the macroscale ((Formula presented.) km), drift resonance between ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves and 70–300 keV electrons is observed. At the microscale ((Formula presented.) km), lower-band chorus waves and electron cyclotron harmonic (ECH) waves are alternately generated, showing signatures of modulation by ULF waves. We found that compressional ULF waves affect the temperature anisotropy of 1–10 keV electrons, thereby periodically exciting chorus waves. Through linear instability analysis, we propose that ULF waves modulate ECH wave emissions by regulating the gradient of electron phase space density at the edge of the loss cone. Our results enhance the understanding of cross-scale wave-particle interactions, highlighting their importance in magnetospheric dynamics.
