Blake, J.B., Baker, D.N., Turner, N., Ogilvie, K.W. and Lepping, R.P. (1997). Correlation of changes in the outer-zone relativistic-electron population with upstream solar wind and magnetic field measurements. Geophysical Research Letters 24: doi: 10.1029/97GL00859. issn: 0094-8276.

A study has been made of the correlation of the population of relativistic electrons in the outer-zone magnetosphere with the properties of the solar wind (speed, density, magnetic field) during a solar minimum period. The study is based upon observations made in the Spring of 1995 with sensors aboard 1994-026 and WIND. It is found that a large relativistic electron enhancement depends upon a substantial solar-wind speed increase associated with precursor solar-wind density enhancement, and, in particular, upon a southward turning of the interplanetary magnetic field.¿ 1997 American Geophysical Union
