In the morningside plasma sheet close to the equatorial plane, satellites often observe magnetic field amplitude variations on timescales of several minutes (Pc5 range). Here we present an event study which shows that in some cases these variations can be a result of magnetospheric regions with different magnetic field amplitudes sloshing back and forth past the satellite. The sloshing is caused by toroidal Alfv¿n oscillations. ¿ 2000 American Geophysical Union
