Abstract
Magnetometers carried by spacecraft in synchronous orbit show that the magnetic field is almost continuously agitated by the presence of hydromagnetic waves. A variety of waves have been identified, several of which are always associated with certain phases of magnetospheric substorms. These types include Pi 2 bursts and Pi pulsations near midnight and IPDP and mixed mode Pc 4–5 waves near dusk. In this report we describe the characteristics of these waves and discuss possible directions for further work.
