Evolution of energetic electron flux at 3.6, 4.5, and 5.6 MeV showing the development and longterm stability of the unusual third radiation belt ring between 3.0 and 3.5 RE, measured by the REPT instrument on the Van Allen probes [Thorne et al., 2013, their Figure 1]: (a) The Dst index and solar wind velocity. (b-d) Electron flux at 3.6, 4.5, and 5.6 MeV. (e) >30 keV electron precipitation flux on the nightside (21-03 MLT) obtained from multiple POES satellites. (f) RMS magnetic wave amplitudes of chorus emissions, averaged over ΔL = 0.2 and 6 h, obtained by the EMFISIS search coil magnetometers on both Van Allen probes A and B. (g) Similar RMS amplitudes of plasmaspheric hiss from EMFISIS.

We have found that about two months after creating a new radiation belt in the inner magnetosphere due to a geomagnetic storm, an increasing seismic activity may occur near the magnetic field lines' footprint. For example, the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) detected a new radiation belt after a geomagnetic storm on March 2...
