Acceleration and loss of relativistic electrons during small geomagnetic storms

Past studies of radiation belt relativistic electrons have favored active storm time periods, while the effects of small geomagnetic storms (D s t > −50 nT) have not been statistically characterized. In this timely study, given the current weak solar cycle, we identify 342 small storms from 1989...
