Abstract

This chapter deals with the low-frequency MHD oscillation of the whole magnetosphere and ULF pulsations including their origins and magnetospheric plasma instabilities. We discuss briefly magnetospheric models and the generation of field-line resonances (FLRs) and cavity modes. Properties of MHD waves propagating in the solar wind are covered. In the remainder of this chapter we examine source mechanisms of natural electromagnetic ULF noises.
