The possibility of an internal magnetospheric acceleration mechanism as the source of relativistic electron fluxes in earth's outer magnetosphere is explored. Such a model includes the substorm generation of a spectrally soft electron component, with subsequent inward radial diffusion. At low L values, an outward transport of energetic electrons occurs which leads to a return of the accelerated population to the outer magnetosphere. Data obtained concurrently at geostationary orbit at three widely spaced local times during a relativistic electron event provide support for acceleration by a recirculation process.
