Abstract: 
The MHD ballooning eigenperturbations with arbitrary polarization in the inner magnetosphere of the Earth is considered. We assume the geomagnetic field to have dipolar geometry and consider the ionosphere as a perfect conductor. An approximated analytical expression for the longitudinal plasma displacement near the ionosphere is derived. The displacement is much larger than that in the equatorial magnetosphere.
Keywords: ballooning perturbations, dipolar geometry, polarization
