The interrelation between sudden increases in the solar wind dynamic pressure, auroral proton flashes on the dayside equatorward of the oval, and geomagnetic pulsations in the Pc1 range is considered on the basis of simultaneous observations of the solar wind plasma parameters, proton auroras on the IMAGE satellite, and geomagnetic pulsations at the Lovozero Observatory. It is indicated that proton luminosity flashes were observed in 70% of cases equatorward of the auroral oval during sudden changes in the solar wind pressure. In this case, flashes of proton auroras were observed in 85% of cases during sudden changes in the pressure, which were related to interplanetary shocks. Increases in pressure during tangential discontinuities were accompanied by flashes of proton auroras only in 45% of cases. When the ground station was conjugate to the region occupied by a proton aurora flash, the appearance or intensification of existent pulsations in the Pc1 range was observed in 96% of cases. When the ground station was not conjugate to the region of a proton luminosity flash, the response in geomagnetic pulsations was observed in 32% of events. When a sudden change in the solar wind pressure was not accompanied by a proton luminosity flash, the response in pulsations in the Pc1 range was hardly observed.
