Short summary
This work provides an alternative approach to examine one commonly occurring type of electromagnetic waves in Earth's inner magnetosphere. In certain wave modes, the waves propagate along individual field lines of Earth's magnetic field. Governed by the coupled system between the magnetic field and ionized gas of low temperature, the waves show certain characteristics similar to standing waves along an elastic string. We present solutions in agreement with spacecraft observations.
