First Evidence for Multiple‐Harmonic Standing Alfvén Waves in Jupiter's Equatorial Plasma Sheet

Abstract Quasiperiodic pulsations in the ultralow‐frequency band are ubiquitously observed in the Jovian magnetosphere, but their source and distribution have until now been a mystery. Standing Alfvén waves on magnetic field lines have been proposed to explain these pulsations and their large range...
