Scientific paper

The plasma wave spectra are presented for the magnetospheres of five planets (the earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). A general comparison of the various plasma wave modes at each of the planets is provided using a common format for displaying the spectra. Results show that, in spite of great differences in the magnetospheres' sizes, heliocentric distances, energy sources, plasma sources, and magnetic dipole orientations between different planets, many of the same types of wave modes are present in each of the five magnetospheres. However, there are great differences in the relative and absolute intensity of some of the wave modes.
