Relationship between Pi3 pulsations and surface waves at the inner edge of the plasma sheet
Abstract
An instance of the excitation of Pi3 pulsations in the auroral zone on the earth's surface and in a conjugate zone in geostationary orbit is investigated. It is suggested that the source of the Pi2 pulsations on the earth's surface may be surface waves on the inner edge of the plasma sheet.
