Scientific paper

A study of 13 wave events having 10- to 45-s periods and observed by ATS 1 in the morning sector reveals that these events, which have been called band-limited pulsations and are thought to be related to Pi 1, appear actually to be Pc 3. Digital power-spectral and coherency analysis was used to determine the characteristics of the wave activity. The average peak frequency of the events (about 0.04 Hz) and their generally narrow-band nature correspond closely with the characteristics of Pc 3. The local-time distribution of the events (peaking at 0900 LT) and their less than complete association with substorms also correspond more closely with Pc 3 characteristics. The orientation of the major axis of the polarization ellipse for these events was predominantly azimuthal, which agrees more closely with the east-west polarization of Pi 1 observed on the ground. However, some examples of radial orientation were observed in the satellite data.
