Scientific paper

Magnetic-field and medium-energy particle data from the AMPTE/CCE spacecraft are used to study substorm-associated ULF pulsations in the midnight sector at a radial distance of 8 to 9 earth radii. The particle data are used to identify ion injections and to detect the electric field of ULF waves. A case study of the events on May 23, 1985 shows that the waves have the properties of a fundamental-mode standing Alfven wave. It is suggested that these observations are evidence of substorm-associated standing Alfven waves in the nightside magnetosphere.
