The different types of magnetic pulsations occurring during magnetospheric substorms are analysed into the concept of polar substorms recently described in detail by Akasofu (1968). Special attention is thus paid, to the simultaneous occurrence of different types of micropulsations at different places around the earth, during the development of a substorm. Time lags between the appearance of micropulsations and other geophysical effects of the substorm are of fundamental importance in this respect. Relationships between the occurrence or spectral shape of micropulsations and the state of the magnetosphere, as determined by satellite measurements are also of interest. Recent theoretical studies about the origin of these micropulsations are reviewed: natural h.m. emissions are directly linked to the thermal plasma density, the high energetic particle fluxes and pitch angle distributions in the far magnetosphere (L ˜ 5 8). We can thus expect to be able to deduce some information about the changes of these quantities during substorms. New semi-quantitative work is reported, which tries to interpret the repetitive structure of SIP events in terms of thickness of the magnetospheric tail, and the frequency drift of IPDP's in terms of magnetospheric electric fields. The present knowledge about absorption and dispersion of hydromagnetic waves through the ionosphere or inside the submagneto-ionospheric guide is also stated, because not taking these effects into account could lead to misinterpretation of the data.
