DISTRIBUTION OF TRAPPED PARTICLES AT AN ALTITUDE OF 900 Km NEAR THE SOUTH ATLANTIC GEOMAGNETIC ANOMALY,
Abstract
Energetic particle responses on x-ray photometers from the NRL 1964-01-D Satellite experiment have been analyzed in order to describe the zone where the regions of high energy trapped particles are observed in the Southern Hemisphere. The particles are identified as protons from the inner Van Allen belt, and their flux is determined approximately. A description of the particle signals and their geographic distribution is presented. (Author)
