The Farley-Buneman instability in the ionospheric E region is studied. Restrictions under which the Farley-Buneman dispersion relation is derived are presented, along with the physical nature of the instability. A mathematical model based on a kinetic approach is given. The long wave limit of the instability is discussed as well as a brief review of the general case of arbitrary wavelengths. 38 refs. 11 figs.
