Small isolated patches of energetic electron precipitation have been observed at high latitudes with a bremsstrahlung X-ray imager in the Stimulated Emission of Energetic Particles (SEEP) payload on the polar-orbiting S81-1 satellite. Twenty-nine patches of X-rays with typical widths of about 200 km were observed in June 1982 at invariant latitudes between 65 and 83 deg, with a median latitude of 72.5 deg. The majority of X-ray patches occurred from dusk until dawn, but a few were present in the early afternoon hours. The observed energy spectra were relatively soft and independent of invariant latitude, magnetic local time, or geomagnetic activity. The occurrence frequency of the patches was somewhat greater at times of high geomagnetic activity. The patches were usually oblong by factors up to 3.7, with a median value of 1.75. No strongly preferred alignment was found.
