Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are observed over a wide range of altitude from the plasmasphere out through the plasmapause into the plasmatrough. They are generated in the radiation belts by wave-particle interaction involving medium energy ions (10-100kev). In the classical model they typically propagate as field aligned short duration wave packets in the 0.1-5 Hz band, bouncing between conjugate ionospheres. This paper looks at the propagation characteristics of some individual EMIC wave events observed over L = 3.5 - 8 by the CRRES spacecraft during its 17 month lifetime. Of particular interest is their location with respect to the plasmapause and plasma bite-outs/gradients, their relationship to long period Pc5 mixed mode hydromagnetic waves, and the perception of a bouncing wave packet phenomenon. We will also consider the effects of the cold/cool helium (He+) population present in the ambient plasma, and the role of substorm injection.
