Nonlinear theory of low frequency geomagnetic pulsations
Description
The nonlinear equations for Alfven waves in magnetospheric plasma are studied taking the influence of hot particles into account. It is shown that oscillations are localized in regions where the pressure of hot ions has local minima. The theoretical results are applied to the problem of generation of geomagnetic pulsations in the magnetospheric plasma. (author)
