Ground-based magnetometer observations are used to confirm the properties of a large azimuthal wave number Pc 5 pulsation observed previously with the STARE radar. The magnetometer and STARE results allow an estimate to be made of the ionospheric height-integrated Hall conductivity, as well as supporting theories that predict 90/sup 0/ rotation of polarization between ionosphere and ground. The properties of the observed vertical magnetic component at the ground are also found to be consistent with recent theory.
