Spectrograms of ULF waves in the 0 to 80 mHz frequency range have been prepared from magnetic field data obtained by the elliptically orbiting AMPTE/CCE satellite (with an apogee of approximately 8.8 earth radii). The most prominent feature of these spectrograms (which cover a full 15.6-h orbit) is the presence of harmonically structured, azimuthally polarized pulsations in the outer magnetosphere during daytime hours. The frequencies of these pulsations decrease with increasing radial distance from the earth, indicating that they represent independent resonances of local magnetic flux tubes. The latitudinal structure of these harmonic pulsations, observed as AMPTE/CCE traveled to + or - 16 deg magnetic latitude, is consistent with accepted field line resonance models.
