Impulsive electron (larger than 50 keV) precipitation events at high latitudes were studied by use of bremsstrahlung X-ray data taken on a polar-orbiting satellite. Many of the events occurred in the vicinity of local midnight near the beginning of a magnetic substorm and lasted for times of the order of 5 min or less. It was found that the electron precipitation occurred generally near the energetic electron (larger than 155 keV) trapping boundary with a tendency often to be somewhat poleward of that boundary. Changes in the pattern of the X-ray flux and related changes in the energy spectra are discussed.
