Magnetic & Acoustic Waves in the Aurora Jada Maxwell Photo: Michael Klensch Courtesy of

Can magnetic waves in the aurora transform into acoustic waves?

Magnetic Waves Earth

LocationAltitude (km) Fairbanks, Ak120 Seattle, Wa120 Equator150 Where Does Beta=1?

How does atmospheric heating from auroral processes affect Beta? At what frequencies do these waves occur? How much does wave transformation contribute to infrasound compared with the gas expansion theory? More Questions to Investigate
