The isolated 100-300-km-wide patches of electron precipitation detected in high-resolution 4-40-keV bremsstrahlung X-ray images obtained on high-latitude passes of the S81-1 satellite (Imhof et al., 1985) are further characterized on the basis of simultaneous 391.4-nm airglow photometry and electron spectroscopy. The data are presented in extensive tables, graphs, and sample images and discussed in detail. Although no major trends or correlations linking the X-ray patches to a particular type of magnetic-storm or substorm event or to a particular IMF orientation are found, it is suggested that they may be related to large-scale multiple-arc precipitation structures.
