The majority of previous works studying ULF waves in the Earth's ion foreshock have been based only on the magnetic field fluctuations and most of them have based their mode identification on fluid models. To provide a more complete description of the waves, it is necessary to consider the fluctuations of the particle population and to use the values of wave identifiers derived from a kinetic model. We use the electromagnetic dispersion relation derived from linear Vlasov theory to evaluate various plasma-field correlations for the hot beam right-hand and left-hand resonant instabilities under conditions consistent with the foreshock. Comparison of the observed Alfvén ratio, parallel compressibility, cross-helicity, magnetic compression and polarization for the waves observed in 10 intervals by AMPTE-UKS with the theoretical values, allows us to identify regions with Alfvénic waves and regions with magnetosonic fluctuations.
