Short summary
High-energy electrons in the magnetosphere can cause operational anomalies in satellites. We investigate regular variations in these electrons and in Pc5 low-frequency waves that are capable of generating the energetic electrons. We find that both variables present similar periods in every solar cycle phase. We focus the analysis on the semiannual variation of these parameters. The shape of the observational semiannual curves correlate very well with the profiles of the main theories.
