Scientific paper

A study is reported of the evolution of a large injection event, first observed at about 1300 UT on November 10, 1977, with data from the synchronous satellite SMS 2. The study used data from several other satellites (GOES 2, 1977-007, 1976-059, ATS 6, and ISEE 1). It is highly probable that the SMS 2 'ion response' was in reality due to energetic electrons. Using a simple model and drift velocity dispersion, an injection time is inferred approximately equal to the observed substorm onset time and an injection source location spread over several hours of local time in the nightside magnetosphere. 'Butterfly' distributions in the dayside magnetosphere, detected by ISEE 1 and ATS 6, are qualitatively in agreement with pitch angle dependent drift rate models, such as that of Luhmann (1977).
