Pc1 and Pc5 Micropulsation Polarization Patterns.
Abstract
The position taken in this report is that the observable features of any pulsation or pulsation event are explained in terms of the physical properties of the eigenmodes of the system for a particular quasi-stationary state or a slowly varying sequence of quasi-stationary states. Discussed are: Field configuration of the eigenmodes for the resonance model; physical properties of polarization and magnetic energy density; latitudinal and diurnal variations in Pc4-5 H-D polarization patterns (including the demarcation latitude); and the simultaneous occurrence of left-and right-handed polarization in a Pc1 event.
