Scientific paper

The concept of drift paths of constant effective potential is used to study the effects of corotation and quiet time ionospheric dynamo electric fields on the dynamics of energetic electrons and protons in the inner magnetosphere. An analytic empirical model based on scatter radar observations is presented for the quiet time ionospheric dynamo electric field. A centered and an eccentric dipole model are presented for the corotation electric field and the earth's magnetic field, respectively. It is found that the quiet time electric fields cause a diurnal modulation of the electron and proton precipitation.
