Effects of the solar wind on magnetospheric dynamics: Energetic electrons at the synchronous orbitA correlation of the observations of energetic electron fluxes at the synchronous orbit with the interplanetary medium and the behavior of energetic trapped radiation at the synchronous altitude were analyzed. Data covering the 1967 to 1978 interval were obtained by the ATS 1, ATS 5, and ATS 6 spacecraft. Long term (year) and short term (days) electron flux averages are found to correlate positively with corresponding averages of the solar wind velocity.
