摘要: Abstract The kinetic approach is used to evaluate the dispersion relation and growth/damping rate of dispersive Alfven wave (DAW) with density, temperature velocity gradients in auroral acceleration region. It found that enhance growth significantly, whereas frequency not affected. Thus, region may taken into account while discussing process by DAW.
