| Abstract: | Satellite measurements of photoelectron escape flux around noontime made by Explorer-31 in 600-800 km altitude range are reported for the equatorial and midlatitude regions. The pitch angle distributions and the spectral distributions are derived from the data. The analyzed data Show that the flux for equatorial region is lower by a factor 2 to 3 in comparison to that of mindlatitude region. Theoretical calculations of the escape flux are also made and compared with the observed escape fluxes, which are about 3 x 106 el cm-3 sec eV-1 for 10 eV electrons in the equatorial region. |
