DYNAMICS AND STRUCTURE OF THE OUTER RADIATION BELT

摘要

From an analysis of electron measurements in the Explorer VI satellite (August 7 – October 6, 1959) four tine-dependent parameters have been investigated which characterize the outer electron be3lt. They are: (1) the equatorial electron intensity Io (2) the equatorial range from the earth Ro of the peak intensity, (3) the electron density distribution along a line of force through the intensity peak, and (4) a measure of the change in electron spectrum with time.
