The magnetospheric generation and propagation characteristics of ion cyclotron waves associated with a Pc 1 emission observed by a network of four middle and low-latitude ground stations are determined using ground source location techniques and ISEE 1 plasma data. The source region at L = 4.7 + or - 0.7 is determined from propagation in the F2 region ionospheric duct. The ion cyclotron wave packet interhemispheric bounce period measured from the ground spectra increases with time from 140 to 155 s during the event but is in agreement with dispersion calculations undertaken using ISEE 1 electron density and cool to cold ion composition data in a H(+) plasma with 8-10 percent He(+) and less than 1 percent 0(+) ions. With these results it is possible to completely describe the wave generation mechanism and the magnetosphere ionosphere propagation characteristics for the Pc 1 event.
