Short summary
The CSES observed ionospheric Pc1 waves near the wave injection regions in conjugate hemispheres during the recovery phase of the geomagnetic storm on 27 August 2018. The Pc1s were found to be Alfvén waves with mixed polarisation propagating along background magnetic lines in the ionosphere. We suggest that the possible sources of Pc1 are EMIC waves generated near the plasmapause by the outward expansion of the plasmasphere into the ring current during the recovery phase of geomagnetic storms.
