Electron precipitation occurring at latitudes near the midnight trapping boundary was measured remotely with a satellite-borne X-ray imager. This investigation has demonstrated the repetitive mapping of precipitation at the trapping boundary with X-rays. When the in situ electron precipitation, measured directly with a spectrometer on the same satellite, was limited to a narrow region at the trapping boundary the precipitation inferred from the X-rays was generally fairly uniform over a median longitude interval of at least 45 degrees. The widespread arc patterns of the precipitation have important implications for both understanding the nature of the responsible loss mechanisms and for assessing the atmospheric effects.
