AbstractDuring the years of high and moderate activity, the energetic flux of electrons at geostationary region increases compensated by the losses and as a result, the overall level of the population persists. The transitions from high to low intensity and back by 3–4 orders of magnitude are fast within hours and caused by the magnetic disturbances, storms and substorms.During the years of the low activity, the balance of increases and losses is violated; the whole flux of electrons is reduced. Particularly noticeable was the devastation of the outer belt during the minimum of 2009–2010years. The slow type of decreases became most active. The transition from the fast type to the slow type of decreases was created by the prolonged periods of the low substorm activity. The slow type of intensity decreases is mostly probable caused by the losses on the magnetopause.
