“…Recently, the propagation and generation mechanism of the Pi2 pulsations in middle and low latitudes and in the inner magnetosphere has been studied extensively via observational methods (Yeoman and Orr, 1989;Yumoto, 1989, 1991;Yumoto, 1990;Yumoto et al, 1989Yumoto et al, , 1990Takahashi, 1994;Takahashi et al, 1992Takahashi et al, , 1995Takahashi et al, , 1999Osaki et al, 1998). In response to these observations, theoretical/numerical studies on the behavior of low-latitude MHD waves have been carried out (Allan et al, 1986;Lee, 1996Lee, , 1998Pekrides et al, 1997;Itonaga et al, 1997a,b;Lee and Kim, 1999). Yeoman and Orr (1989) manifested from mid-latitude Pi2 observations that a 180…”
