A description is given of the wave characteristics of magnetic pulsations observed at synchronous orbit by the satellite GOES 2 (L = 6.67). In addition, a determination is made of whether there is a clear candidate for the source of low-latitude Pc 3's in the outer magnetosphere. Simultaneous records are shown of Pc 3 pulsations at GOES 2 and at the low-latitude ground station San Gabriel Canyon (34.2 deg N, 118.0 deg W), which is approximately 11 deg west of GOES 2's longitude at L = 1.8. These observations are used to clarify the relation of magnetic pulsations observed outside the plasmapause to the low-latitude Pc 3 pulsation on the ground. The way in which these observations can be deduced from the characteristic frequency of hydromagnetic waves in the geomagnetosphere is discussed theoretically.
