Penetration to the Earth's surface of standing Alfvén waves excited by external currents in the ionosphere

The problem of boundary conditions for monochromatic Alfvén waves, excited in the magnetosphere by external currents in the ionospheric E-layer, is solved analytically. Waves with large azimuthal wave numbers <i>m</i>»1 are considered. In our calculations, we used a model...
