Scientific paper

A number of Molniya satellites in earth's radiation belts measured integral particle fluxes by means of gas-proportional counters. Data obtained for inner and outer radiation-belt particles that penetrated a 0.7-g/sq cm shield and data on solar-flare protons are used to delineate variations in the intensity of electrons with energies of at least 5 MeV within the outer radiation belt. Three large increases in the intensity of these electrons are examined which were detected in a period of slightly more than two years. It is shown that these increases were followed by a slow exponential decay with a characteristic time of about 15 days and that the maxima were attained approximately 5 days after the onset of intense magnetospheric storms.
