On the impact of MHD resonators on the geomagnetic pulsations

The examples of the time-frequency structure of geomagnetic pulsations are given. It is shown that in some cases the pulsations
of different types may have one thing in common - a discrete structure of the dynamic spectrum. The discreteness is manifested in
the alternation of "permitted" and "forbidden" frequencies. Such a structure is analogous to a periodic ripple structure of spectral bands
formed by MHD cavities in the magnetosphere-ionosphere plasma. Appearance of discrete spectrum of pulsations is attributed to resonator
filtering properties acting on hydromagnetic waves as they pass through the resonant cavity. It is assumed that in some cases the
discreteness can provide useful information about the propagation channels of signals of lithospheric or magnetospheric origin.
Key words: resonators, geomagnetic pulsations, discrete structure of spectrum.
