Abstract
Resonant three-wave interaction in a spatially non-uniform magnetized fluid plasma is considered. We calculate the coupling coefficientsVjfor wave propagation in arbitrary directions and demonstrate that new terms, which appear inVjowing to the presence of density gradients, can dominate actual wave coupling processes.Keywords
