Solutions of the warm plasma dispersion relation with varying parameters to assess the sensitivity of the solutions. The sensitivity is assessed based on varying each parameter by ± 50%. a k||, n, Te and Ti are all kept constant and \(|{B}|\) is varied from 12 nT (dashed line) to 36 nT (dot-dash line). Varying the magnetic field strength does not impact the solution strongly. b k||, B, Te and Ti are all kept constant and n is varied from 7.5 × 106 m−3 (dashed line) to 2.25 × 107 m−3 (dot-dash line). c k||, B, n, and Ti are kept constant and Te is varied from 1.0 keV (dashed line) to 3.0 keV (dot-dash line). d k||, B, n, and Te are kept constant and Ti is varied from 1.5  keV (dashed line) to 4.5 keV (dot-dash line)
