The transformation of magnetoacoustic waves into Alfvén waves inside the magnetosphere
A mechanism for the transformation of a magnetoacoustic wave into an Alfvén wave is proposed. During the compression of the magnetosphere by the solar wind the inner edge of the plasma sheet and the contours of <i>B</i>=const move in different ways. In the case of asymmet...
