Scientific paper

Recent experiments in space plasma physics involved the release of lithium and barium plasmas in the solar wind. The resulting expanding artificial plasmas created diamagnetic cavities which were bounded on the sunward-side by a large shock-like magnetic field structure. Observations made by two spacecraft of the AMPTE mission revealed the presence of large amplitude magnetic field oscillations. It is shown that these oscillations, which resemble finite amplitude magnetosonic waves and have the characteristics of Adlam-Allen waves, can be described by a nonlinear wave equation, namely the Korteweg-de Vries equation.
