Scientific paper

An attempt is made to characterize Pi 2 activity at synchronous orbit, on the basis of magnetic field data recorded in September, 1974. Pi 2 bursts are primarily seen in the nighttime sector, probably near 2100 LT, and are usually simultaneous with the Pi 2 bursts seen at midlatitude ground stations. Three main event types are noted at the data-gathering satellite: a 100-sec irregular oscillation in all field components, an additional 100-sec irregular oscillation which, unlike the first, is not accompanied by high frequency oscillations, and a much rarer, quasi-simusoidal oscillation in the east-west component of the field. The dominant period of Pi 2 bursts is about 100 sec, and tends to be shorter as the level of activity measured by field changes at the satellite increases.
