We present a survey of Prognoz 10 energetic ion and electron observations at low and middle latitudes in the dayside magnetosheath. At low latitudes, peak fluxes are observed inside the magnetopause, whereas at middle latitudes the peak fluxes are generally observed in the magnetosheath at some distance from the magnetopause. Both electron and ion fluxes tend to be greater outside the dawnside magnetopause than outside the duskside magnetopause. The flux of energetic particles in the outer magnetosheath is almost invariably less than that within the inner magnetosheath. The observations indicate that leakage of magnetospheric particles is the dominant source of energetic particles in the magnetosheath, although Fermi acceleration at the bow shock is a possible subsidiary contributor to the population of ions with energies of about 15 keV.
