Scientific paper

Propagation of torsional Alfven waves in the magnetosphere is examined for two models of the earth's magnetic field, one where the field is toroidal, the other being a dipole field. Both models yield magnetically-guided torsional wave modes which are strongly localized in all directions transverse to the steady magnetic field. The transverse structure is determined by a self-consistent solution of the ideal MHD equations.
