Fig. 3. The mean and standard deviation of the dominant pulsation periods of the H-component observed at the stations SAA (L=1.84), AUG (L=1.64), MAR (L=1.52) and TSU (L=1.37) are indicated by the circles and error bars, respectively.

The short dashed line shows the periods computed using a plasma model containing both O+ and H+ as a function of L-value.

The long dashed line shows the periods computed with the same H+ distribution, but with O+ excluded.
