A search for simultaneous 10- to 45-s waves at the synchronous orbit at the location of ATS 1 and at Tungsten, Northwest Territories, Canada (near the foot of the ATS 1 field line), during 1969 resulted in the identification of only one event. This event occurred near 0900--1000 LT and was identified as a Pc 3 event. By combining 1967 data from College, Alaska (near the same L shell as ATS 1), with ATS 1 data, 90 simultaneous events were identified. Analysis of 60 of these events led to the conclusion that Pi 1 are rarely, if ever, observed on the magnetic equator at synchronous orbit, even when Pi 1 activity is present on the ground near the conjugate point, Pc 3 on the other hand, are common at synchronous orbit. A statistical study of the Pc 3 occurring at ATS 1 during simultaneous College wave activity indicated characteristics similar to those observed at ATS 6. |
