Annotation

The dynamics of the Earth’s outer radiation belt were traced at altitudes of 500–830 km during weak geomagnetic disturbances based on the data of simultaneous experiments carried out in November 2009 onboard the CORONAS-Photon solar observatory and the Meteor-M No. 1 artificial satellite. The average statistical profile of external boundary of the outer radiation belt that is characteristic for a quiet magnetosphere has been found from the analysis of variations in the position of the polar boundary of the capture region in the Earth’s magnetosphere.
