DOI: 10.1029/2020ja028187
Abstract: We investigate how initially high-m, poloidal Alfvén waves evolve using a numerical model solving the ideal, cold, linear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations in a 2-D dipole coordinate system. The curved magnetic geometry provides a key difference… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggz112
Abstract: The discovery of torsional Alfvén waves (geostrophic Alfvén waves) in the Earth’s core (Gillet et al. 2010) calls for a better understanding of their properties. We present the first experimental observations of torsional Alfvén waves, performed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tps.2017.2665628
Abstract: A theoretical investigation has been carried out to study the nonlinear propagation of high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) waves in a magnetized relativistic rotating electron–positron plasma. The Korteweg-de Vries (K-dV) equation is derived by employing the reductive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.aav8411
Abstract: Global Alfvén wave power above the auroral zone increases fourfold during geomagnetic storms. Geomagnetic storms are large space weather events with potentially tremendous societal implications. During these storms, the transfer of energy from the solar… read more here.
