The Cluster spacecraft were favorably positioned on the nightside near the equatorial plasmapause of Earth at L ~ 4.3 on 30 March 2002 to observe electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) rising tone emissions in association with Pc1 waves at 1.5 Hz. The EMIC rising tone emissions were found to be left-hand circularly polarized, dispersive and propagating away from the equator.
