ATS-1 OMNIDIRECTIONAL SPECTROMETER.

Abstract

Continuing analysis of electron data from the ATS-1 omnidirectional spectrometer shows (a) an electron flux vs time structure that exhibits periodicity probably associated with the interplanetary field sector structure, and (b) that magnetometer data fail to organize electron flux data; i.e., the electron flux variations are governed by temporal effects. Proton fluxes, some associated with flares, have been detected a surprisingly large fraction of the time. Further details of the proton events in January and February 1967 are presented. (Author)
