Scientific paper
The process by which the 80-eV to 20-keV electrons in the plasma sheet are scattered into the loss cone and are precipitated onto the auroral zone is investigated using data obtained during the 14 conjunctions of the high-altitude polar-orbiting P78-1 and the low-altitude near-geosynchronous Scatha satellite. The electron distributions obtained were used to characterize the scattering process and to calculate the precipitation lifetimes. Results indicate that equatorial electron cyclotron harmonic wave amplitudes are too small to sustain the diffuse aurora and that another mechanism may be responsible for plasma sheet electron loss.
