Nonlinear surface Alfven wave with magnetic island
Description
A nonlinear surface Alfven wave is shown to propagate as a K-dV soliton in a sheared magnetic field and generates a magnetic island by a reconnection of magnetic field near the critical layer in the presence of a finite electron inertia effect. (author)
