Wave modes using the warm plasma theory, with one ion species included are:

B=0
- longitudinal electron plasma wave
- longitudinal ion plasma wave
- transverse electromagnetic wave
k parallel to B
- longitudinal electron plasma wave
- longitudinal ion plasma wave
- transverse right-hand circularly polarized wave
- transverse left-hand circularly polarized wave
k perpendicular to B
- longitudinal electron plasma wave
- longitudinal ion plasma wave
- transverse ordinary wave
- partially transverse extraordinary wave
