Table 1: Simulations of circularly polarised Alfvén waves in a stratified medium with density $\rho_0 (0)= 5 \times 10^{-13}~$ kg m-3 at the bottom of the grid. $\Delta t, N$ and L denote the time step measured in seconds, the number of grid points, and the length of the computational domain in scale heights, H, respectively. The vertical magnetic field, B0, is given in T. $v_{\rm A0}$ , $\beta _0$ and $\eta _0= B_\perp /B_0$ are computed at z = 0.
