Balloon observations of the horizontal electric field, from six Canadian sites during August 2, 3, 8 and 9 of 1969, have been analyzed for coherent oscillations: right, left, and linearly polarized in the 1-16 mHz range. On any particular day there are 'calm' periods where a number of frequencies in the 1-16 mHz range exist. The length of these periods may vary from a few hours to several hours. The 'disturbed' periods can occur at any time of the day. The length of disturbed periods, number of significant frequencies in the band, and their probability of occurrence show a tendency to increase with latitude up to the auroral zone, beyond which no significant increase has been seen. The regions of the disturbed electric field sometimes cover a wide range of latitudes (greater than 10 deg) and longitudes in the auroral zone. Some of these regions are well defined and fixed in space and may remain unchanged for several hours to sometimes more than a day. For the frequency band studied, polarization of one kind (right or left) may dominate over the other for several hours after which the roles may interchange. These reversals do not show any clear-cut latitudinal dependence. Instead, there is more similarity in their behavior.
