英文摘要	Using Van Allen Probes Relativistic Electron Proton Telescope (REPT) pitch angle resolved electron flux data from September 2012 to March 2015, we investigate in detail the global occurrence pattern of equatorial (\|\|3 degrees) butterfly distribution of outer zone relativistic electrons and its potential correlation with the solar wind dynamic pressure. The statistical results demonstrate that these butterfly distributions occur with the highest occurrence rate similar to 80% at similar to 20-04 magnetic local time (MLT) and L>similar to 5.5 and with the second peak (>similar to 50%) at similar to 11-15 MLT of lower L shells similar to 4.0. They can also extend to L=3.5 and to other MLT intervals but with the occurrence rates predominantly
