On resistive dissipation of Alfvén waves in an isothermal atmosphere
In this paper we will examine the reflection and dissipation of Alfvén waves, resulting from a uniform vertical magnetic field, in an inviscid, resistive and isothermal atmosphere. An equation for the damping length distance that wave can travel at Alfvén speed is derived. This equation shows that t...
