Abstract
A new class of resistive drift‐Alfvén modes is discovered. The new modes are believed to be the generalization of shear‐Alfvén waves to sheared magnetic fields. In addition, the finite β (plasma over magnetic pressure) corrections to the electrostatic dissipative drift wave are evaluated.Keywords
