The differential particle spectrum of electrons between 50 eV and 20 keV, as measured by the electrostatic analyzer on DMSP-F2, is used to identify regions of precipitation in the earth's polar regions above 800 km altitude. A typical cusplike spectrum is defined by analysis of the DMSP data, compared with published data, and used to locate regions of cusplike precipitation. A comparison between the September 19-21, 1977 stormtime location of such regions and the quiet-time location is discussed. In general, the region of cusplike precipitation is significantly displaced equatorward from its quiet-time location.
