On the spatial power spectrum of the E x B gradient drift instability in ionospheric plasma clouds. Memorandum report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5912085
;
It is shown that the two dimensional power law spatial power spectra of magnetic field line integrated Pedersen conductivity perturbations in the plane perpendicular to the magnetic field recently computed from numerical simulation studies of ionospheric plasma clouds are consistent with conservation laws implied by the fundamental plasma fluid equations describing the E X B gradient drift instability in these ionospheric plasma clouds.
