Klein-Gordon equations for toroidal hydromagnetic waves in an axi-symmetric field

In this paper we develop the hydromagnetic wave equations for toroidal Alfvén waves in a background axi-symmetric magnetic field. In the case where spatial variations are directed along the ambient magnetic field direction, the equations can be cast in a Klein-Gordon form in which the adiabatic-...
