| Description | Large amplitude Alfvenic disturbances of arbitrary spatial shape and polarization are described by MHD equations, without resort to the usual assumption of planarity. However, because of their nonplanar nature, the direction of propagation of these disturbances cannot, in general, be determined by looking for minima in a variance matrix constructed from observed field fluctuations. When such minima exist, one is observing that subset of interplanetary Alfven waves that is essentially planar. |
