Abstract
The mathematical analysis of the Alfven Wave equation in inhomogeneous magnetic fields which explain the resonance absorption of Alfven surface waves near a resonant layer can also be used to show that magnetic reconnection process can arise near the zero frequency resonant layer driven by very low frequency Alfven surface waves. The associated phenomena of resonant absorption and magnetic reconnection in inhomogeneous plasmas can explain the recent obsrevations of intense magnetic activity in the long period geomagnetic micropulsations range, at magnetospheric cusp latitudes, during the time of occurence of flux transfer events.
