Alfv\'enic Motions in a Stratified Open Flux Tube: Transition from Propagating to Locally Standing Motions and Implications for the Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability
Propagating kink waves in a stratified open solar flux tube can trigger Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices because resonant absorption plus non-WKB reflection makes boundary Alfvénic motions locally standing.
