27. This is the case where the mode drive is strong enough to overcome kinetic dissipation and radiative damping, or where the real mode frequency is well inside the frequency gap in the Alfvén continuum. In other words, the mode structure on short scales is smoothened by either torvidal coupling or drive mechanisms.
28. In this case, core-plasma kinetic effects are important in determining both mode stability and mode structure on short scales.
