This paper presents a more detailed analysis of the soft proton measurements at the dayside auroral oval obtained aboard the Aureole 1 satellite. The approach is based on the distinction between soft magnetosheathlike proton spectra and much harder plasmasheetlike spectra. The significant softening of the cusp proton energy spectra reported earlier has been confirmed. This softening must be interpreted as an increased probability of finding high fluxes of soft protons in a patchy precipitation closer to the noon meridian. Independently obtained data from other satellites are briefly summarized and general consistency with Aureole 1 results is noted.
