Multi-instrument observations of a Pg pulsation, which occurred on the morning of May 16, 1998, are reported. The wave signature was observed simultaneously on the ground, by the International Monitor for Auroral Geomagnetic Effects (IMAGE) magnetometer network and in the ionosphere by the Doppler Pulsation Experiment (DOPE) high resolution HF Doppler sounder. The wave occurred in the morning sector and possessed an azimuthal wave number, m, of 30±5 with a westward phase propagation. Shortly before the Pg commenced, energetic particle instruments on board the Polar spacecraft detected protons with a non-Maxwellian energy distribution drifting westward toward the location of IMAGE and DOPE. An investigation has been undertaken to determine whether these particles were involved in the wave-particle interaction considered responsible for generating the Pg pulsation. Proton energies of around 7 keV, which occur at the low-energy edge of the unstable distribution (where ∂ƒ/∂W>0), satisfy the drift-bounce resonance relation, ω − mωd, for N=1. This result indicates that this particular wave is likely to be the result of a drift-bounce resonance mechanism and that it has an even mode standing wave structure in the magnetosphere. This result is discussed in terms of previous observations of Pgs.

High resolution HF radar observations of ULF waves in the ionosphere are possible by artificially generating irregularities using the EISCAT heater at Tromso, Norway. The line-of-sight velocities from the CUTLASS radars have been combined for the first time to form bistatic flow vectors during a ULF wave, generating ionospheric electric field measurements with a higher accuracy than ever previously recorded by any instrument. A high-m wave observed in the ionosphere exhibits a frequency which is a harmonic of that of a low-m field line resonance which is observed simultaneously in the ionosphere and at the ground. The high-m pulsation resembles a class of particle driven wave previously recorded on VHF radars. These results are consistent with recent HF radar observations of small scale waves possessing similar characteristics to field line resonances and with the theory that the low-m wave may be driving the high-m wave through a non-linear Kelvin-Helmholtz instability.
