Fourteen different events, containing GEOS 2 electric field and groundbased data, were analyzed. In the premidnight sector large scale field pulsations are found to be associated with the passage of a convection reversal boundary across the satellite footpoint. When the footpoint is located within the westward travelling surge near midnight, a dusk-sunward field response is recorded, occasionally preceded by a tailward field excursion. This may be due to an inductive effect of a downward field aligned current or simply due to a shift of the satellite footpoint across the surge. In the morning sector impulsive field variations have only a moderate response on the ground. This suggests that the location of the satellite footpoint is different in the evening and morning sectors.
