Abstract

A model is presented that describes the excitation of small-scale density perturbations and electromagnetic fields by standing shear Alfven waves in a Cartesian geometry. The model includes the effects of plasma betas and the Hall term effects. The characteristics of magnetospheric density cavities and the formation of the significant peak in density are discussed in the paper.
