Abstract
We reconsider the underlying physics and the dispersion properties of inertial and kinetic Alfvén waves in plasmas, accounting for the inertial electron and kinetic ion responses. In that way, we clarify the ambiguities in a recently published paper by Chaston et al. [Geophys. Res. Lett. 30(6), 1289, doi:10.1029/2002GL015777, 2003].
