Abstract

The increasing incidence of energetic particle emission from the sun since 1966 has provided a number of opportunities to measure the spatial, angular and energy distribution of these particles at high latitudes with instruments flown aboard low altitude polar orbiting satellites. Such measurements may provide insight into the structure of the distant magnetosphere and complement the measurements carried out by high altitude spacecraft.
