Effect of thermal pressure on upward plasma fluxes due to ponderomotive force of Alfvén waves
We consider the action of the ponderomotive force of low-frequency Alfvén waves on the distribution of the background plasma. It is assumed that the ponderomotive force for traveling waves arises as a result of the background inhomogeneity of medium under study. Expressions for the ponderomotive for...
