Abstract

Linear and nonlinear mechanisms for generating convective cells with finite but small parallel (to the external magnetic field B0) wavelength are presented. The problems of mode-coupling as well as quasi-steady nonlinear mode structures are analytically studied. Possible applications in space plasmas are discussed.
