Diurnal variations of occurrence frequency of Pc 1 pulsations and relationships between Pc 1 events and Kp, Dst and K (at Syowa Station) indices have been studied by using f-t spectra of magnetic pulsations observed at Syowa and Mizuho Stations during one year from January 1976 to January 1977. It is found that the occurrence probability of Pc 1 events does not depend on the magnitude of Kp index, while there is a tendency that the occurrence probability of Pc 1 events increases greatly when the magnitude of Dst index is larger than -80 nT. It is also found that the f-t spectral patterns of Pc 1 events observed at Syowa and Mizuho Stations were generally quite similar to each other. However, several Pc 1 events were observed only at Syowa Station. Furthermore, dynamic polarization patterns of three typical Pc 1 events observed at Syowa Station are given in this paper.
