Resistive drift-alfven waves in sheared magnetic fields
A new class of resistive drift-Alfven modes is discovered. The new modes are believed to be the generalization of shear-Alfven waves to sheared magnetic fields. In addition, the finite ..beta.. (plasma over magnetic pressure) corrections to the electrostatic dissipative drift wave are evaluated.
