Three superposed epoch analyses of plasma data from geosynchronous orbit are compared to infer relative distributions of electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC)- and whistler-mode wave instabilities. Both local-time and storm-time behaviours are studied with respect to dynamics of relativistic electrons. Using LANL-GEO particle data and a quasi-linear approximation for the wave growth allows us to estimate the instability of the two wave modes. This simple technique can allow powerful insights into wave-particle interactions at geosynchronous orbit. Whistler-wave activity peaks on the dayside during the early recovery phase and can continue to be above normal levels for several days. The main phase of all storms exhibits the most EMIC-wave activity, whereas in the recovery phase of the most radiation-belt-effective storms, a significantly suppressed level of EMIC activity is inferred. These key results indicate new dynamics relating to plasma delivery, source and response, but support generally accepted views of whistlers as a source process and EMIC-mode waves as a major loss contributor at geosynchronous orbit.
