Measurements with the SPE-1 instrumentation on board the low-altitude satellite, Active, provide energy spectra of electrons in three directions and in 7, 15, or 31 energy channels quasi-logarithmically distributed approximately within the interval from 20 to 400 keV. The orbit allowed measurement of electrons in the altitude range from 500 to 2500 km and in all local time sectors within any 3-month interval. In the inner zone, multiple peaks, with the lowest one at 30 keV, are found in the trapped population at L<1.30 and at altitudes above 800 km. The long drift period of such electrons indicates that the drift acceleration resonance model proposed to explain peaks at higher energies is inappropriate here. ¿American Geophysical Union 1992 |
