An analysis of the correlation between the fluxes of high-energy electrons and low-middle-energy electrons in the magnetosphere
The variation of the flux of energetic electrons in the magnetosphere has been proven to be strongly related to the solar wind speed. Observations of GEO orbit show that the flux of low-energy electrons is not...
