Scientific paper

The Cosmos-368 AES carried two identical SEZ-1 scintillation-Cherenkov spectrometers, one of which had its axis of maximum response directed to the zenith, whereas the other was oriented to the nadir (aperture angle of each instrument 45 deg). A similar experiment was carried out on he Cosmos-208 and Cosmos-228 satellites, in the first case with the instrument oriented to the nadir, in the second case, oriented to the zenith. The purpose of the new investigation was to check the conclusions drawn on the basis of measurements made with these two satellites. The observations, at altitudes 200 to 300 km, involved measurements of electrons with E(e) or = 20 MeV and protons with E(p) or = 100 MeV, or = 500 MeV. The following facts were confirmed. There is a so-called inverse latitudinal variation of excess radiation in the equatorial region; there are brief variations in the intensity of registered radiation at all latitudes. In addition, it was possible to evaluate the suitability of the L parameter for describing the latitudinal variation of primary and secondary cosmic rays and to determine the upper limits of fluxes of protons in the region of planetary negative magnetic anomalies.
