This paper describes the geomagnetic pulsations observed in the high-latitude ionosphere during an experiment dealing with the ionospheric generation of ELF/VLF EM waves in June and October 1987. There was clear evidence of geomagnetic pulsations intermixed with the ELF/VLF signals in both the magnitude and phase data. A simple simulation model is introduced to facilitate the interpretation of the data, and a procedure for characterizing the pulsation is described. 5 refs.
