Scientific paper

A solid-state electron spectrometer on-board the low-polar orbiting P78-1 satellite gathered data on electron precipitation at energies over 68 keV in the inner radiation belt and the slot region. The spectrometer resolution was 20 keV FWHM. L shell electron flux data are presented for the combined 100-140 deg E longitude region of the North and South Hemispheres, which exhibited equivalent fluxes. A tendency for a higher injection rate of electrons over 68 keV into the drift loss cone to be in the midnight sector was detected. The data are consistent with previous VLF radio transmitter experiments, suggesting that it is the propagation of naturally occurring VLF waves, which might be caused by lightning in the nighttime sector, which causes the electron precipitation events.
