Scientific paper

The present study deals with energetic (greater than 0.16 MeV) electron data from over 1000 passes of the low-altitude (750 km) polar-orbiting satellite 1972-076B across the L = 1.75 field line in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Whenever the counting rates were significantly above background, the pitch angle distributions pointed to a combination of trapped and precipitating electrons, as well as electrons backscattered from the atmosphere. However, when the counting rate vs pitch angle profiles were examined in detail, they indicated that the fluxes were predominantly associated with locally trapped electrons.
