Auroral zone electron precipitation and associated magnetic micropulsations
Gross features of the diurnal occurrence pattern for magnetic micropulsations and associated electron precipitation occurring during auroral substorms will be reviewed. Recent observations of 25-250 kev auroral X-rays obtained during August 1967 at Ft- Yukon, Alaska by the Rice University Balloon Gr...

Gross features of the diurnal occurrence pattern for magnetic micropulsations and associated electron precipitation occurring during auroral substorms will be reviewed.
