Abstract
An east-west chain of three stations was established in north china near ge omagnetic latitude 29.6 degrees (L = 1.3) within a geomagnetic longitude sp an of 40.2 degrees from Oct. 10 to Nov. 29 in 1996. Propagation and polariz ation characteristics of Low-latitude Pc3 pulsations were studied. It is co ncluded that the westward propagation of Pc3 pulsations is dominant in the morning and the eastward propagation is dominant in the afternoon. NW-SE of major axis azimuth and right-handed polarization are dominant in the dayti me.
