Spatio-temporal structure of a poloidal Alfvén wave detected by Cluster adjacent to the dayside plasmapause

A case study of a poloidal ULF pulsation near the dayside plasmapause is presented based on Cluster observations of magnetic and electric fields. The pulsation is detected close to the magnetic equatorial plane at L shells <I>L</I>=[4.4, 4.6] and oscillates with a frequency of <I&...
