The complex magnetic-pulsation event near magnetic shell L = 4.5 at 1830-1930 UT on July 14, 1982, is characterized on the basis of observations obtained by the DE-1 satellite near the equator and by magnetic stations at Siple, Antarctica, and Roberval, Quebec, Canada, at opposite ends of the L = 4.2 field line. The data are presented graphically and discussed in the light of theoretical models. The main features (in sequence) observed were a brief 120-sec compressional pulsation, a 5-nT 180-sec transverse pulsation, a weak 44-sec transverse pulsation, and a rapidly developing 240-sec azimuthal pulsation. The 180-sec and 240-sec pulsations are found to be large-scale toroidal oscillations on one and two resonant shells, respectively, while the 44-sec pulsation appears to be more localized.
