Scientific paper

The location of the high-latitude boundaries of the region in which electrons with energies of 40 keV or less are stably trapped is delineated based on SCATHA satellite data. A new coordinate system called composite coordinates is introduced which takes account of the strong influence on this region of the earth's dipole field and the direction of the solar wind. Electron fluxes are found almost continuously present in a 1.2 earth radii region centered on the equatorial plane. In another region more than one earth radius thick, 40-keV electron fluxes routinely appear and disappear on time scales of one hour.
