Atmospheric secondary positrons and electrons had been observed by many balloon experiments. The positron flux is approximately equal to the electron flux. However, the secondary positron electron flux ratio measured by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer were found to be depend on the magnetic latitude. They can be as high as 4 near the magnetic equator and as low as 1 at high latitude. This new finding can be explained by an old phenomenon, the east-west effect. A model combining the secondary particles production and the east-west effect was proposed. An analytical formula was also derived to explain the latitude dependence of the albedo positron electron ratio.
