Scientific paper

Measurements made with the charged particle spectrometer of the Max-Planck-Institut fuer Aeronomie onboard GEOS-1 were used to investigate the behavior of energetic electrons and ions in the dusk sector of the magnetosphere. During substorms the integral ion flux (in excess of 24 keV) increased, whereas the integral electron flux (in excess of 20 keV) first decreased and then increased. The dependences of these flux variations on pitch-angle and particle energy are described and discussed in terms of particle drift in the geomagnetic and geoelectric fields and adiabatic energy variations. The results also provide some information on the source region of the drifting particles
