Scientific paper
The temporal structure of electron fluxes precipitated by lightning that was measured at night over Wallops Island, Virginia, during August 1984 has been analyzed. A component of the precipitating electrons is almost certainly due to equatorial wave-particle interactions involving equatorial electron cyclotron resonance (EECR) with whistlers which produce pitch angle scattering. Precipitated electron fluxes of equatorial origin are characterized by a very steep spectral power exponent of about -20 above 100 keV. A second electron distribution from some other origin is also found whose time-integrated energy flux appears to be about equal in magnitude to the fluxes identified with the EECR processes.
