Let us consider magnetic perturbations caused by an upward propagating
acoustic wave. This is

Assume that the ground is a perfect conductor. Then

for 0 < z<z 1 .
Substituting (15.20) into the second relationship of (15.18), we can express
the integration constant d in terms of the gas velocity on the boundary z = z 1 :
