Scientific paper

Electron energy and pitch angle spectra are obtained by an instrumented rocket payload launched across a pre-midnight auroral arc. The interaction of the incident electron beam with the atmosphere is described through transport theory including inelastic and multiple-elastic scattering of electrons by neutrals. A two-stream approximation to the electron transport equation is used to compute the hemispherically averaged upcoming electron transport that resulted from the measured downcoming intensity. The model of Evans (1974) is employed to infer a primary electron spectrum within the discrete arc.
