Surface Alfvén Waves in Solar Flux Tubes
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves are ubiquitous in the solar atmosphere. Alfvén waves and magneto-sonic waves are particular classes of MHD waves. These wave modes are clearly different and have pure properties in uniform plasmas of infinite extent only. Due to plasma non-uniformity, MHD waves have mixed properties and cannot be classified as pure
