The power spectral analysis method is used to investigate quantitatively the evolution of the periodicities exhibited by the intensity fluctuations of a 60-min recording of chorus, a very low frequency electromagnetic radiation occurring naturally in the earth's magnetosphere. A transition is seen from more complex power spectra in the earlier parts of the chorus, characterized by large spectral peaks defining both short (2-3 s) and relatively long (8-16 s) periods, to less complex spectra in which the short period peaks are absent or have small amplitude. Short period fluctuations in the intensity of chorus are attributable to the 2-hop travel time of whistler-mode echoes of chorus emissions, while longer period fluctuations may be due to modulation by micropulsations of the same period. At the peak of the chorus event some of the emissions are apparently generated in the plasmapause. An analogous evolution is predicted for power spectra of geomagnetic micropulsations.
