Abstract
It is important to develop a comprehensive kinetic theory of superthermal electron transport that is equally valid in the ionosphere and in the plasmasphere, and that self-consistently couples the conjugate magnetospheric hemispheres. It can be shown that such a self-consistent approach produces significant changes in the superthermal electron distributions compared with “pure” ionospheric or plasmaspheric calculations. In order to develop such an approach, it is necessary to consider a numerical solution of the kinetic equation for the superthermal electrons that is equally valid for the entire geomagnetic field line, including the transport of these electrons around the globe. Such an approach is presented in this chapter in a rather general form that includes relativistic electrons and highly non-steady state conditions like, for example, artificial electron beam injections from spacecraft.
