Fig. 5 — Visualization of the region of resonant interaction between a single chorus wave and electrons. a The expansion (red contours) and b contraction (blue contours) of the chorus wave–particle interaction region at the magnetic equator (Z_SM = 0) in SM coordinates. Contour lines are plotted every 20 ms. c The spatial dependence of the equatorial loss cone calculated from the T02 model. The time variations of d the maximum and minimum radial distance from the Earth and e the width in the longitudinal direction of the resonant interaction region
