Abstract Balloon observations of X-rays produced by electron precipitation were made in the evening sector of the auroral zone at the time of the geomagnetic storm sudden commencement (SSC) of July 6, 1979. Seven instrumented balloons floated in an area reaching from 25° E to 20° W through L-values from 5.2 to 11.0. X-ray observations with high time and spatial resolution together with the charged particle observations are analysed showing the dynamics of the precipitation following the SSC.
