  • The characters of the Pc3-4 magnetic pulsations and their relationships to interplanetary conditions were studies during the periods of both the magnetic quite (March 20 to 27, 2011) and storm (September 25 to October 1, 2011), using ground-based geomagnetic field measurements from the new-developed Chinese Meridian Project. Preliminary results show there exist significant dawn-dusk asymmetric distribution of the Pc3-4 pulsations in the middle-low latitudes (1.3<L < 2.3), with Pc3-4 pulsations activity are observed mainly in the pre-noon sector, during both time periods. They are closely related to the interplanetary conditions, with high-speed solar wind and solar wind dynamic pressure pulsation leading to enhancement of the Pc3-4. However, Pc3-4 pulsations activity is not observed near the equatorial low latitudes (L <1.3) due to latitudinal effect.
