Caption: Figure 1.

Magnetic and velocity perturbations for spherically polarized Alfvén waves, under different deflection angles θ. The magnetic field is normalized to velocity units by using the Alfvén speed ﹩b=\frac{B}{\sqrt{{\mu }_{0}\rho }}﹩. The radius of the polarization circle is equal to the background magnetic field b0. The stack bar indicates the radial components δvr and br.
