Scientific paper

A study of the electrons in the earth's outer radiation belt during two storm periods in 1968 and early 1969 is presented. Attention is given to pitch angle distributions, the temporal behavior of electron spectra, and the energy-dependent decay rates. Unequivocal evidence for the loss of relativistic electrons was found during the main phase of the two magnetic storms. During the course of the long-term recovery from the observed storms, the radial flux profiles showed marked energy dependence reflecting the energy dependencies in the pitch angle and radial diffusion rates. A consequence of these effects was a broad peak in the energy spectra at approximately 1500 keV. The most rapid electron flux decays observed were uniform from one event to the other in respect to both weak injection and that due to the moderate June storm and the large October-November storm.
