Zusammenfassung:The spatio-temporal evolution of geomagnetic pulsation bursts at frequencies of 1–3 Hz, observed at the Mondy (MLT ≈ 1200; M lat = 46.8°; L = 2.16) and Borok (MLT ≈ 0820; M lat = 54.0°; L = 2.94) midlatitude observatories and Lovozero auroral observatory (MLT ≈ 0820; M lat = 64.2°; L = 5.36), has been studied. The considered bursts were registered in daytime sector of the magnetosphere after sudden impulses (SIs) caused by dramatic increases in the solar wind dynamic pressure and registered on board the WIND satellite. The SI onset time corresponds to the Sc* time shown in the Geomagnetic Indices Bulletin . The possible relationship between the excitation of these bursts and the variations in the particle partial density in the range of energies 0.03–45 keV per unit charge has been studied. The bursts were registered on board the LANL geosynchronous satellites. A comparison of the particle partial density variations measured on the satellites and the variation temperature anisotropy ( A = T ⊥ /T ‖ − 1) with the variations in the pulsation burst amplitude on the ground indicated that the partial density maximum and the minimum ( A ≤ 0) of the electron temperature anisotropy index in the vicinity of local noon coincide in time with the pulsation generation instant. A comparison of the electron partial density variations on the LANL-1994 and LANL-97A geosynchronous satellites spaced in longitude and the spatio-temporal variations in the development of bursts make it possible to assume that 1–3 Hz geomagnetic pulsations are excited in the vicinity of local noon and subsequently propagate along the ionospheric waveguide.
