The paper examines the detailed time structure of high-energy (over 30 keV) electron precipitation along the morningside and dayside of the auroral zone. To this end, available high time resolution data from the Ogo 6 energetic electron experiment are analyzed. The relationship between trapped flux levels and degree of precipitation observed is studied from an observational standpoint and compared with the critical flux levels estimated by Kennel and Petschek (1966). A possible explanation within the general framework of the Kennel-Petschek theory of the observed burstlike precipitation episodes is presented, and the implications of these features for the average lifetime of electrons in drifting clouds are discussed.
