Polar cap ULF waves as a result of solar wind <strong>an</strong>d magnetosphere interface<br />

The ground multi-stations geomagnetic data have been <strong>an</strong>alyzed during several<br />

selected magnetic storms associated with interpl<strong>an</strong>etary magnetic cloud passages. Strong ULF<br />

geomagnetic pulsations have been found at the daytime polar cap latitudes caused by<br />

magnetosphere impact with high turbulent <strong>an</strong>d compressed plasma of the magnetic cloud<br />

front edge (sheath region. The spectra of ground ULF pulsations were compared with the<br />

spectra of the wave observed in the different components of the interpl<strong>an</strong>etary magnetic field<br />

(IMF) <strong>an</strong>d in the solar wind dynamic pressure. Some similarity of these waves spectral<br />

structure was found. This finding suggests a possibility of the direct penetration of the solar<br />

wind wave fluctuations into the Earth polar cap. A cloud leading edge arrival <strong>an</strong>d magnetic<br />

storm main phase onset shifted this Pc5-6 geomagnetic pulsation activity into the inner<br />

magnetosphere.
