Scientific paper

Using a two-dimensional nonlinear finite element model, we investigate the electromagnetic oscillations generated by the ionospheric feedback instability. The coupling of dispersive Alfven waves and compressional waves is described by full set of MHD equations and the nonlinear evolution of Alfven waves and their coupling with full compressional waves are considered. The ionospheric feedback instability can develop inside the global magnetospheric resonator when there exists a perpendicular electric field and the ionospheric conductivity is low. It is shown that the small-scale ULF geomagnetic pulsations and corresponding density perturbation can be explained in terms of Alfven waves and compressional waves generated by the ionospheric feedback instability.
