Plasma waves in the magnetosphere

D. J. Southwood*

*Blackett Laboratory Imperial College of Science and Technology, Prince Consort Road, London SW7 UK

A large variety of plasma wave phenomena are seen in the Earth's magnetosphere. Attempts at the theoretical explanation have had some successes, including wave induced loss of radiation belt particles and the Kelvin−Helmholtz instability source of geomagnetic pulsations. But there are also areas where theory needs more development: for example, on the ion wave turbulence seen on auroral magnetic flux tubes, the role of anomalous resistivity and the origin of the terrestrial kilometric radio waves.
