Hydromagnetic waves in a buoyant medium
Lighthill has suggested that magnetic fields can transform gravity waves into Alfvén waves. The behaviour of gravity waves in an incompressible and infinitely conducting atmosphere is examined so as to check this suggestion. It is found that an upgoing gravity wave is converted to a downgoing Alfvén...
