Scientific paper

A dispersion equation for the surface waves on the inner boundary of the magnetospheric plasma sheet is obtained. The wave group velocity has both components along and across the magnetic field. For the waves with the period of about 1 min the transverse component is about 100 km/s, the parallel component is approximately equal to the Alfven velocity. Pi2 pulsations, as well as east-westward motions of auroral riometer absorption bays, may be possible displays of surface waves.
