- A Pc5 wave is observed by the Exploration of energization and Radiation in Geospace Arase satellite in the inner magnetosphere (L similar to 5.4-6.1) near postmidnight (L-magnetic local time similar to 1.8-2.5 hr) during the storm recovery phase on 27 March 2017. Its azimuthal wave number (m-number) is estimated using two independent methods with satellites and ground observations to be -8 to -15. The direct measurement of the m-number enables us to calculate the resonance energy. The flux oscillations of H+ and O+ ions at >= 56.3 keV are caused by drift resonance and those of O+ ions at <= 18.6 keV by bounce resonance. Resonances of O+ ions at multiple energies are simultaneously observed for the first time. The enhancement of the O+/H+ flux ratio at <= 18.6 keV indicates selective acceleration of O+ ions through bounce resonance. Plain Language Summary Geomagnetic pulsations are magnetic fluctuations excited by solar wind or plasma instabilities in the magnetosphere. Pc5 waves are continuous geomagnetic pulsations with a period of 150-600 s. A Pc5 wave was observed in the inner magnetosphere during a magnetic storm on 27 March 2017. It propagated westward with a wave number of 8 to 15 and resonated with charged particles, resulting in oscillations of the H+ and O+ ion fluxes at >= 56.3 keV and the O+ ion fluxes at <= 18.6 keV. Resonances of O+ ions at multiple energies are simultaneously observed for the first time. At the same time, the O+/H+ flux ratio at <= 18.6 keV enhanced corresponding to the O+ ion flux oscillations, which indicates selective acceleration of O+ ions through resonances.

- [1] The passage of an interplanetary shock caused a sudden compression of the magnetosphere between 0900 UT and 0915 UT on 24 August 2005. An estimate of the shock normal from solar wind data obtained by Geotail upstream of the bow shock indicates symmetric compression with respect to the noon-midnight meridian. Compression-related disturbances of the magnetic and electric field and plasma motion were observed by Double Star Program (DSP) Tan Ce 1 (TC1) and Tan Ce 2 (TC2) in the inner magnetosphere and by the Cluster spacecraft in the dawnside plasma sheet. DSP/TC1 and TC2 observations suggest that the disturbances in the inner magnetosphere are propagating from the dayside magnetopause. Cluster S/C 4 observations indicate that the front normal of the disturbances in the dawnside plasma sheet is phi similar to 180 degrees at 0902: 50 UT and phi = 107 degrees at 0904: 34 UT, where phi is the longitude in GSM coordinates, if we assume that the measured electric field is on the front plane and the normal lies on the X-Y plane. The timing analysis applied to magnetic field data from the four Cluster spacecraft independently gives a front normal, which is calculated to be phi =131 degrees at about 0904: 20 UT. Shock-associated magnetic and electric field disturbances propagating from both the dayside and flank magnetopauses are detected in the plasma sheet; the latter makes the dominant contribution. Substorms are, however, not triggered at the passage of the disturbances.
