Introduction to the special section on Chorus: Chorus and its role in space weather

Chorus, a naturally occurring magnetospheric electromagnetic wave, is believed to be the result of a long chain of physical processes starting with supergranular circulation at the sun. The interaction of chorus with energetic electrons produces ∼ MeV “killer” electrons that can disable Earth orbiti...

Summary:Chorus, a naturally occurring magnetospheric electromagnetic wave, is believed to be the result of a long chain of physical processes starting with supergranular circulation at the sun. The interaction of chorus with energetic electrons produces ∼ MeV “killer” electrons that can disable Earth orbiting spacecraft.
