Abstract
By measuring the time evolution of the perturbed magnetic field vectors, the formation of the spatial Alfven resonance layer and cutoff fields has been first observed in an inhomogeneous plasma. A simple MHD theory including the effect of the ion-neutral collision is described as a background to understand the experimental results.Keywords
