The factors controlling the occurrence and the properties of compressional Pc 5 waves were examined by studying the statistical characteristics of compressional Pc 5 waves, using magnetic-field data obtained by GOES 2 and GOES 3 satellites during the August 1978 - August 1980 period. The compressional Pc 5 waves could be classified into the harmonic, transitional, and normal types, on the basis of the second-harmonic component in the compressional component of the magnetic field oscillation. It was found that the harmonic and the transitional waves have significant azimuthal perturbations and show right-handed polarization with respect to the local magnetic field, while most of the normal-type waves have small amplitude in the azimuthal component. The polarization properties of transverse perturbation, which may reflect the spatial inhomogeneity of the medium, are investigated.
