Scientific paper

Three months of DMSP satellite precipitating electron data are examined in order to look for the occurrence of distinct structured magnetospheric cusp regions. Of the 2000 cusp regions analyzed, only 2 percent show two distinct regions with a sharp demarcation. The results suggest that the frequency of occurrence of the events does not depend on the solar wind parameters, but does depend on the IMF orientation.
