Scientific paper

A Superarcas sounding rocket was launched from Siple Station, Antarctica in January 1978, during a prolonged geomagnetically quiet period with very low VLF activity. The observed electron flux is the first direct measurement in the high latitude mesosphere of the quiet-time precipitating electrons in the South Atlantic anomaly. The integrated flux agrees resonably well with satellite measurements and predictions. The calculated energy spectrum of the precipitating electrons is much softer than typical measured quiet-time trapped spectra reported from satellite measurements after extended periods of low magnetic activity.
