We present analyses of a nightside plasmaspheric pattern of bifurcated, filamentary He+ 30.4-nm emission enhancements observed by IMAGE EUV between ~19:40-22:13 UT on 28 June 2000 that indicate the presence of a large-scale, global ULF standing wave pattern. Analysis of coincident IMAGE magnetometer chain data reveals that these ULF waves extend across the magnetic latitude-longitude range of the chain and possess multiple spectral features between 0.6-5.0-mHz (3-30 minute period). Additionally, analysis of ACE SWEPAM data reveals similarly structured spectral components in the solar wind. Collectively, these analyses lead to the conclusion that the observed large-scale ULF wave pattern is the result of solar wind pressure pulses "ringing" the inner-magnetosphere.
