The local time variations of particle distributions, which can be produced by the sudden enhancement of a cross-tail electric field, are examined by using adiabatic theory. The strong coupling between acceleration, inward motion, and east-west drift is emphasized. The model is used to interpret recent measurements of delay times of newly accelerated electrons at different local times at geostationary orbit. Observations of the asymmetric storm time 'ring current' are interpreted in terms of the model without invoking particle loss.
