Simultaneous measurements of ion and electron energy spectra recorded during the October 28, 1977 geomagnetic storm by the AE-C and ATS 6 spacecraft when both were nearly on the same L shell are evaluated and compared. The orbit of the AE-C generates wide longitudinal coverage of the auroral oval, whereas the ATS 6, which is located at geosynchronous orbit, samples the equatorial particle population. It is shown that the coincident electron energy spectra obtained by the two satellites agree well above 5 keV and the spectra of electrons peak near 1 keV at ionospheric altitudes, while no peaks in energy appear at synchronous altitude.
