Abstract

Particle detectors in the Alouette satellite measured the electrons with energy greater than 3.9 MeV which were trapped in the geomagnetic field as the result of three Russian high-altitude nuclear explosions in October and November, 1962. The early spatial distribution is reported. Temporal variations in the flux have been studied during the following three months. Effects of geomagnetic conditions on the electron precipitation are measured and an estimate is made of the total precipitation at L ~ 2.95.
