The time-dependent flux of equatorial electrons (0.4 Mev ≲ E ≲ 2.2 Mev) observed on ATS 1 often exhibits drift-periodic structures that can be traced back to a sudden expansion or compression of the magnetosphere. The magnetospheric disturbance redistributes the energetic electrons among drift shells in an asymmetrical manner, and this spatial asymmetry between noon and midnight reveals itself as a temporal variation in particle flux as the electrons subsequently drift past the observer. A mathematical model for the dynamics of this azimuthal bunching of energetic electrons reveals the microstructure of the redistribution of electrons among drift shells and indicates qualitatively the relation of this microstructure to the diffusion of particles across L.
