Principal characters of behavior of energetic electrons based on the comparative studies are summarized as follows : a) A peak in the intensity-altitude profile appears around 120km in altitude at disturbed time, counting rates being 5×(10)^5/(cm)^2・s・sr・keV for 40keV electrons in maximum, while the profile at quiet time is saturated at a counting rate of (10)^3/(cm)^2・s・sr・keV. b) Pitch angle distribution changes from the field-trapped mode in quiet condition into the fieldaligned one at disturbed time. c) The value of power law exponent of energy spectrum is found to be 7-8 at disturbed time, while about 4 at quiet time. departmental bulletin paper Other/Unknown Material Antarc* Antarctica Memoirs of National Institute of Polar Research Polar Research National Institute of Polar Research Repository, Japan Syowa Station |
