Spatial features of mid-latitude field-line resonances from simultaneous ground-satellite measurements

Three series of simultaneous pulsation measurements ( <i>f</i>&lt;0.06 Hz) on the Freja satellite and at the Budkov Observatory have been spectrally processed (FFT) in 6-min intervals of Freja's transits near the local Budkov field line. Doppler-shifted, weighted spectral-pe...

description Three series of simultaneous pulsation measurements ( <i>f</i>&lt;0.06 Hz) on the Freja satellite and at the Budkov Observatory have been spectrally processed (FFT) in 6-min intervals of Freja's transits near the local Budkov field line. Doppler-shifted, weighted spectral-peak frequencies, determined in both transverse magnetic components in the mean field-aligned coordinate system on Freja, allowed the estimation, by comparison with the stable frequency at Budkov, of fundamental frequencies of the local magnetic-field-line resonance ranged from 13 to 17 mHz in two pulsation events analyzed, with <i>K<sub>p</sub></i>=2<sub>+</sub> to 0<sub>+</sub>. The ratio of total amplitudes of the spectral-pulsation components on the ground and on Freja at an altitude of ~1700 km (values &lt;0.7) characterizes the transmissivity of the ionosphere. In the Pc3 frequency range this correlates well with simulation computations using models of the ionosphere under low solar activity.
