The main properties of MHD-waves in the magnetosphere have been discussed in the previous chapters wherein the general features of these waves traveling from a magnetospheric source towards the ionosphere have been established. Moreover, we have constructed the shape of the MHD-wave caused by the FLR not only in the magnetosphere but also on the upper boundary of the ionosphere. In the present and forthcoming chapters, we will consider penetration of the MHD-waves incident to the ionosphere from the magnetosphere to the ground observer.We shall find the ionospheric frequency response function in the wide-scale size of the ULF-range.
