| Zusammenfassung |
| Two features of giant pulsations (Pgs) which
still require an explanation are firstly, why Pgs occur mainly in the early
morning sector (i.e. 03:00-07:00 MLT) and not at other times of day, and
secondly, why Pgs occur preferentially in a narrow latitudinal band
(approximately 63°-68° geomagnetic latitude). Using statistics from 34 Pg
events observed by the EISCAT magnetometer cross, a comparison has been made
between the location of the Pg resonant field lines and the equatorward edge of
the auroral oval. The majority of these Pg events appear to occur just poleward
of this boundary. Using these results, an explanation of the two features of Pgs
as detailed above is made. This explanation involves the interaction of protons,
which may be responsible for the Pg events, with the inner edge of the plasma
sheet or with its ionospheric equivalent, the equatorward edge of the auroral
oval. |
