The previous chapter discussed field transformation to the Fourier domain due to the homogeneity in the horizontal plane and time. The reflection and transformation matrices were found for the wave periodical in space. The thin ionosphere approximation enabled us to proceed with a minimum computations to a rough estimate of the general features of the MHD-waves. The next step, then, is to compute spatial field distributions produced by specific MHD-wave beams.
