In a previous paper Kennel et al [1970] presented a survey of VLF electric field observations in the magnetosphere made with the short electric dipoles aboard Ogo 5. Particular emphasis was placed on the geomagnetic equatorial region between L = 4 ,and L = 10. The preliminary findings in that paper suggested that the predominant emissions were those at odd half-integral multiples of the local electron gyrofrequency ƒce and that, among these multiples, emissions at ƒ ≈ 3ƒce/2 were by far the most common, although other multiples, including ƒce/2, were also observed at times. Kennel et al. [1970] noted that the waves have large electric field amplitudes (1–10 mv/m), and they suggested that 3ƒce/2 emissions could be important sources of turbulent energization and pitch angle diffusion for auroral zone electrons.
