Scientific paper

An analysis is presented of the excitation of Alfven disturbances in the magnetosphere associated with intense inclined (almost-field-aligned) currents, leading to the generation of auroral arcs. The inverse effect of the emitted Alfven waves on the instability is examined, and characteristic scales of nonuniformity corresponding to the greatest growth are determined. Theoretical results are found to agree well with experimental data.
