Scientific paper

Observations of electron energization in the polar cusp demonstrate the influence of the sign of the elevation angle of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) on the polar cusp electron spectra; the evidence indicates that the energization process occurs only at the near-noon hours of local time. The observations were made by an electrostatic analyzer on board the polar-orbiting Ariel-4 satellite. In particular, the electron intensities noted at energies greater than about 700 eV when the IMF elevation angle exceeded zero deg show an enhancement in comparison with the intensities registered at IMF elevation angles less than zero deg.
