MICROBURST PHENOMENA. 2. AURORAL ZONE ELECTRONS,
Abstract
Observations made during a high-time resolution mode of operation of the Injun 3 satellite have identified auroral zone electron microbursts, the parent phenomenon of the often observed bremsstrahlung x-ray microbursts. Statistical studies of these satellite-observed microbursts reveal their occurrence predominantly in the regions of 6 less than L or equal to 8.5 and 4:30 less than magnetic local time or equal to 12:30. Detailed statistical distributions of microburst occurrence as functions of local time and L are presented. (Author)
