Abstract

Results are presented from an analysis of the June 6, 1985 Pc 2 measurements for which E, B, and delta-N were all analyzed. The event occurred in the duskside overlap region between the plasmaspheric bulge and the ion ring current. Results of the Poynting vector analysis of the R and L mode components show both of them to be characterized by northward Poynting vector, indicating energy flux away from the equator. The value of the Poynting vector was found to be about 3 microW/sq m.
