Direct current electric field measurements to 150 Hz were performed on board a rocket payload. South of a faint localized auroral arc impulsive electrostatic signals with fundamental frequencies below the ion cyclotron frequency are observed. These wave fields have characteristics of ion beam driven electrostatic ion cyclotron wave models described by Yamada et al., (1977). Such waves are confined to the interior of supersonic ion beams, and the observations indicate the occurrence of upward directed, localized, and extremely narrow ion beams with beam velocity 5 times the ion thermal velocity and beam width of typically 30 m.
