The diurnal variation of the high latitude outer zone boundary at 1400 km has been determined for electrons above 140 keV and for protons in two energy intervals: 0.56 to 1.1 MeV, and 1.1 to 3.2 MeV, from detectors aboard the NOAA-2 satellite. The dependence of the 140 keV electron boundary on Dst has been examined as well. A well-defined correlation of boundary position with Dst is found to exist during the main phase of disturbances, together with an evident local time dependence. All the boundaries are found to be consistent with the supposition of adiabatic drift and demonstrate the stability of the boundary position over approximately ten years of comparable observation. No statistically significant hemispheric differences in boundary location were observed to occur.
