Abstract Considering a three layered configuration of boundary layer bounded by compressible magnetosheath and magnetospheric plasma, the dispersion equation for K-H instability has been derived. In the presence of finite compressibility normal components of wave vectors are non-zero implying propagation normal to the boundary layer. The growth rate for the magnetopause or M-mode is greater than the inner magnetospheric or I-mode surface waves. However, for certain orientations of magnetosheath magnetic field ωiIΩiM and the corresponding phase and group velocities are significant. The amplitude ratio of displacement vectors at the magnetospheric and magnetosheath interfaces is greater for the I-mode than that for the M-mode. These situations are capable of exciting I-mode waves which may transport energy to the inner magnetosphere resulting in field line resonances and generation of micropulsations. The sense of polarization of M-mode and I-mode are the same in the magnetospheric region.
