Abstract
The three wave interaction of the powerful magnetoacoustic wave with the Alfvén waves in heat-releasing ionized media is considered. The conditions of an amplification and generation of Alfvén waves due to the parametrical energy transfer from unstable magnetoacoustic waves are obtained. We find the acoustic increments and show the possibility of Alfvén waves amplifications in some solar atmosphere regions with the acoustical instability.
