Abstract
THE large-scale structure of low frequency hydromagnetic waves in the magnetospheric plasma can be understood from observations of micropulsations at the Earth's surface. Signals have to penetrate the ionosphere and atmosphere and although the scale heights of these layers are much less than the scale lengths expected for the magnetospheric phenomena, the behaviour is not as simple as might be expected1,2.
