Results of a study of the relationship between ion velocity and ion temperature in the ULF bandwidth (0.8 to 8 mHz) using the European incoherent scatter facility are reported. It is shown that the temperature fluctuations are coherent with Pc 5 magnetic pulsations on a large spatial extent. As expected in theory, heating by pulsations is instantaneous, so that the temperature fluctuations follow closely the velocity fluctuations. The results thus show that the classical relation between ion heating in the ionosphere and dc electric fields is still applicable to magnetic pulsations of periods down to 3 min. A method for estimating the ion temperature enhancements from ion velocity measurements is presented.
