Scientific paper

Results are presented for a statistical analysis of the latitudinal variations of precipitating O(+) and H(+) ions with energies between 0.7 and 12 keV during the magnetic storms of Dec. 16 and 17, 1971. Particular attention is given to some typical characteristics of the O(+) energy spectra along with an intercomparison of the O(+) and H(+) average energies during each storm. Major findings are that (1) the O(+) energy spectra were quite structured, one or more peaks being frequently observed; (2) the O(+) energy spectra which were still rising at 12 keV were not uncommon, especially at high latitudes; and (3) a significant hardening of the O(+) spectrum with increasing latitude was observed at the higher latitudes during the December 17 storm, along with a significant hardening with decreasing latitude at the low-latitude edge of the precipitation zone on the night side. A statistically significant difference in average energies between the two ionic species was revealed.
