The spectral characteristics of active central plasma sheet ions and electrons during moderate to high geomagnetic activity (i.e., when AE levels are greater than 100 nT) were investigated using data from ISEE 1 instruments. The spectral shapes obtained are compared to those observed by Christon et al. (1989) during low AE periods (i.e., for the quiet central plasma sheet). The comparison demonstrates the relationship between the variations in the particle spectra to the geomagnetic activity index AE. The spectral results are compared to predictions by two models of magnetospheric particle acceleration.
