Top: suprathermal electron PADs (time series of the distribution function, Fdist, with respect to the magnetic field angle) for the 272 eV energy channel measured by ACE/SWEPAM from March 14, 2012, to March 19, 2012, at 12:00 UT. Bottom: in situ PADs of the suprathermal electrons from 193.5 to 314.3 eV measured by STEREO-A/SWEA for the same period. Dashed lines and top colour bars represent the different defined regions.
