Scientific paper

Spatial distributions of trapped electrons at low altitudes, which result from radial, pitch angle, and energy diffusions are examined in an attempt to quantitatively test their effects. Good agreement in the low altitude L-shell profile of trapped electrons is found between the diffusive Salammbo model and in-situ observations by the OHZORA satellite at L less than 5. The classical diffusive model also performs better than AE8 model in terms of predicting the radiation belt structure at low altitudes for L less than 3 and E greater than 0.2 MeV.
