Relation of electric field and particle precipitation in the polar cap region inferred from Akebono observations

Akebono (EXOS-D) observations revealed that an electric field in the polar cap region was very irregular and an entire polar cap region was filled with many electron precipitation spikes when the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) was directed northward. It was also found that the variation of the...
