Cornwall et al. (1970) and Gendrin (1975) suggested that ultra-low-frequency (ULF) waves play an important role in the loss of ring current protons. The present investigation is concerned with data obtained in the ULF range between 0.2 and 11.5 Hz, taking into account a comparison of thy data with particle data. A summary is provided of the systematic studies of the monochromatic emissions which have been observed on GEOS satellites in thy ULF range. The sensitivity of the equipment and the continuous recording of the ULF experiment make it possible to identify the characteristic signatures of the emissions. Around (both below and above) the He(plus) gyrofrequency, ion cyclotron waves (ICW's) are identified. The ICW's are shown to be fed by energetic anisotropic protons. It is found that the thermal He(plus) content also controls their generation.
