Scientific paper

Charge particle analyzer data from three GEO satellites and magnetograms from high altitude stations are employed to study the characteristics of proton drift echoes (PDE). The ion data were used to examine the possibility that the PDE were connected with energetic proton injections. Nearly 75 percent of the 93 events analyzed exhibited multiple peak structures, with onsets of pulse pairs being correlated with negative magnetic bays. The magnetic data were taken at high latitude, near-midnight stations, and onsets were separated by 1-5 min. Various mechanisms are discussed as sources for the multiple peak signatures.
