Penetration to the Earth's surface of standing Alfvén waves excited by external currents in the ionosphere [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 The problem of boundary conditions for monochromatic Alfvén waves, excited in the magnetosphere by external currents in the ionospheric E-layer, is solved analytically. Waves with large azimuthal wave numbers m»1 are considered.

Alfvén 'resonance' reconsidered: Exact equations for wave propagation across a cold inhomogeneous plasma [PDF]
, 1994 Previous discussions of Alfvén wave propagation across an inhomogeneous plasma predicted that shear Alfvén waves become singular (resonant) at the omega = k(z)v(A) layer and that there is a strong wave absorption at this layer giving localized ion ...

Coupling Between Alfvén Wave and Kelvin–Helmholtz Waves in the Low Latitude Boundary Layer
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 The Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability of magnetohydrodynamic surface waves at the low latitude boundary layer is examined using both an eigenfrequency analysis and a time-dependent wave simulation.

Turbulence in the Solar Corona [PDF]
, 2007 The solar corona has been revealed in the past decade to be a highly dynamic nonequilibrium plasma environment. Both the loop-filled coronal base and the extended acceleration region of the solar wind appear to be strongly turbulent, but direct ...

Ion acceleration by parallel propagating nonlinear Alfvén wave packets in a radially expanding plasma [PDF]
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics, 2014 The numerical simulation of the nonlinear evolution of the parallel propagating Alfvén waves in a radially expanding plasma is performed by using a kinetic-fluid model (the Vlasov–MHD model). In our study, both the nonlinear evolution of the Alfvén waves

Rapid dissipation in a current sheet driven by footpoints motions [PDF]
, 2006 Context.Wave energy dissipation by viscous and resistive damping in magnetic coronal plasmas is addressed. A two and one half dimensional, line-tied magnetic channel is considered whose footpoints are disturbed by buffeting motions of the photosphere ...

Ion‐Scale Kinetic Alfvén Turbulence: MMS Measurements of the Alfvén Ratio in the Magnetosheath
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 Turbulence in the Earth's magnetosheath at ion kinetic scales is investigated with the magnetospheric multiscale spacecraft. Several possibilities in the wave paradigm have been invoked to explain plasma turbulence at ion kinetic scales such as kinetic ...
