A comparison of electron intensity data from the interplanetary probes Pioneer-10 and 11 with data from a Molniia-1 study of electron intensity in the outer radiation belt of the earth's magnetosphere is presented. 'Flash-ups' in the intensity of fast (3-12 MeV) electrons in interplanetary space over the period January-June, 1971 were accompanied by an increase in the intensity of such electrons in the outer radiation belt. Similarly, a decrease was noted in the intensity of fast electrons both in interplanetary space and in the outer radiation band from July to September, 1971. The average relative correlation coefficient was 0.5. Further results indicate that Jupiter is a source of electrons with energies greater than 0.2 MeV at 1 a.u.; the initiating agent for such Jovian electron bursts is apparently a solar process.
