Scientific paper

It is shown theoretically that a plasma disturbance generated in the ionosphere from aboard a satellite and traveling across a magnetic field B sub 0 together with the satellite at a velocity of V sub 0 can have the character of an Alfven wing: a structure highly elongated along B sub 0, traveling along B sub 0 with an Alfven velocity much greater than V sub 0. For the Alfven wing to be generated it is necessary that the transverse dimension of the disturbance be sufficiently large, exceeding the ion Larmor radius.
