Electron Fluxes and Correlations with Quiet-Time Auroral Arcs.

Abstract

Primary electron fluxes, measured by two satellites as they crossed quiet-time auroral arcs, are presented for times near 14:20 UT on Nov 12, 1972. The DMSP-30 satellite measured the optical intensity at 0.6 to 1.0 Micrometer (FWHM) and precipitated electrons with 0.22 = or < E = or < 19.7 keV near 2100 MLT. The 72-1 satellite crossed the auroral arc system near 2200 MLT and measured 0.36 to 16.5 keV electrons at all pitch angles. A detailed description of the electron morphology that includes comparisons of electron fluxes with optical intensities is presented.
