Simultaneous quasi-periodic variations of electrons (with energies greater than 22 keV), ions (with energies greater than 27 keV), and the geomagnetic field in the Pc 5 period range were observed on GEOS 2. Fifty-four events occurred between August 1978 and July 1979. Two types of events could be distinguished. During the first type called in-phase events, electrons and ions reached their flux maxima and minima simultaneously. During events of the second type, called out-of-phase events, the electron flux had minima at the ion flux maxima and vice versa. During all events the total magnetic induction had minima at the time of the ion flux maxima and vice versa. The observations are found to be in reasonable agreement with the predictions of the drift mirror instability theory.
