Scientific paper

Results are presented from low-energy plasma analyzers (12 eV to 12 keV) carried on two rockets launched into the dayside cleft during January 1975. It is concluded that (1) atmospheric interaction becomes important for less than 1-keV electrons at approximately 250 km, (2) characteristics of particles in 'inverted V's' observed in the afternoon cleft are consistent with their interpretation as being due to parallel electric field acceleration from a constant source population, and (3) magnetospheric energetic (greater than 2 keV) electrons intermingle with magnetosheathlike plasma in the cleft.
