Shukla, P.K. and Stenflo, L. (2004). Comment on ‘Kinetic effects in the acceleration of auroral electrons in small scale Alfvén waves: A FAST case study’ by Chaston et al.. Geophysical Research Letters 31: doi: 10.1029/2003GL018814. issn: 0094-8276.

We reconsider the underlying physics and the dispersion properties of inertial and kinetic Alfv¿n 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>.
