With the launch of GOES-13 on May 24, 2006, new measurements are being made of the ring current and radiation belt particles at geosynchronous orbit. New instruments are now measuring the electron distributions from 30 keV to 600 keV and the proton distributions from 80 keV to 800 keV, each in 9 look directions and 5 energy bands. Measurements of higher energy electrons and protons are still being made with instruments similar to those on prior GOES satellites. With the multiple look directions and the on-board magnetometer, it is now possible to investigate the pitch angle distributions of the radiation belt and ring current electrons and protons continuously in geosynchronous orbit. In this presentation, we will highlight the changes in pitch angle distributions that occur in association with flux enhancements and depletions, providing clues for the dominant source and loss processes.
