Preliminary results on ULF waves in the 0.2-11 Hz range are discussed. Two categories of emissions are considered: waves with frequencies below the proton gyrofrequency and waves with frequencies above the proton gyrofrequency. Monochromatic emissions with frequencies below the gyrofrequency were primarily detected while the satellite was near its apogee (L equals 7); these waves are left-hand-polarized perpendicular to the magnetic field. Monochromatic waves with frequencies above the proton gyrofrequency are predominantly right-hand-polarized perpendicular to the magnetic field. On the other hand, phenomena with complex, harmonically related structures, also detected above the proton gyrofrequency, are clearly polarized along the magnetic field; these waves can probably be interpreted in terms of ion Bernstein waves.
