Results of measurements of the absolute values and long term temporal evolution of the spatial distribution of trapped He ion fluxes of 3.2–9.2 MeV/nucleon energy at L <4 obtained by the OHZORA satellite are reported. The annually averaged radial profile exhibits one persistently present peak at L =1.3–1.5 as well as very significant transient trapped fluxes at L =1.4–4.0 during the period 1984–1986. Together the absolute values of the fluxes measured by OHZORA and S72‐1, SAMPEX, and CRRES spacecrafts may approximately be described by a power spectrum with index of −8.0±1.0 at L =1.9–2.3 within the energy range of 3–100 MeV/nucleon .
