Theory of hydromagnetic waves in the magnetosphere

  • Published:
Space Science Reviews Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Many of the significant theoretical advances in understanding the origin and behaviour of low frequency hydromagnetic waves originating in the magnetosphere in the last decade are reviewed. Topics covered include wave generation mechanisms, wave damping, effects of inhomogeneity, signal behaviour in the ionosphere and atmosphere.
