SIMULTANEOUS SATELLITE AND BALLOON OBSERVATIONS OF THE SAME AURORAL ZONE PRECIPITATION EVENT.
Abstract
On September 20, 1963 the Injun III satellite, at an altitude of 2350 km, passed within close proximity of a balloon x-ray detector at 35 km altitude. During a transit of the L-shell of the balloon, a marked correlation in the increases of flux of the satellite precipitating electron E = or > 40 keV detector and the balloon x-ray E = or > 30 keV detector is found. These results place a lower limit of 430 km east-west separation of the mutually observed pulsation event. (Author)
