Abstract

A comprehensive graphic display of the omnidirectional intensities of electrons (E > 40 kev, >230 kev, and >1.6 Mev) in the outer radiation zone observed during the ten-month period October 1962 through July 1963 with an array of Geiger-Mueller tubes borne on the earth-satellite Explorer 14 is presented. The observations are displayed as contours of constant omnidirectional intensities of electrons with energies exceeding the above thresholds as functions of shell-parameter L and time at the magnetic equator. Although many of the phenomena apparent in these maps of outer-zone electron intensities have previously been discussed, the present graphic summary provides an extensive panorama of the morphology of the energetic electron distributions in the outer zone and a compact, concise medium for comparison with related ground-based and satellite measurements of geophysical phenomena.
