AB: The aims of this research was to study the ULF waves characteristics during the to "Halloween" storms of 2003. Using magnetic field data from the CANOPUS, IMAGE and SAMNET ground based magnetometer arrays it is shown that the ULF wave power was enhanced during these storms to very high levels and high wave power was observed penetrating to an unusually very low L during 29 October, 2003. On this day particle flux data from the SAMPEX spacecraft shows deep injection and acceleration of relativistic electron into the slot region with this enhancement continuing for days. Therefore, also studied is the relationship between the observed ULF waves and the slot region enhancements.
