This paper reports observations of highly periodic flux pulsations in greater than 30-keV electrons measured by essentially identical Los Alamos National Scientific Laboratory charged particle analyzers on board spacecraft 1976-059, 1977-077, and 1979-053 at geostationary orbit. Oscillations with periods in the range from approximately 1 min to approximately 10 min (Pc 4 and Pc 5) have been studied. Statistical analyses were performed using approximately 4.5 years of data obtained at magnetic latitudes of 4.8, 9.4, and 11.4 deg. The statistical occurrence probabilities have been evaluated for measurements made at each of the various magnetic latitudes and for all local times. Substantial magnetic latitude and seasonal dependences are found for the flux pulsation occurrence frequency versus local time. These results are discussed in terms of previous observations and present theories of magnetic pulsation generation.
