Plasma instabilities in the high- and low-latitude E region induced by high-power radio waves. Interim report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6046581
The effect of a high frequency (HF) powerful pump wave on high and low latitude E-region low frequency plasma instabilities is theoretically considered. The growth rates and threshold criteria are calculated for the electrojet associated (Farley-Buneman, gradient-drift) and higher altitude high latitude parallel-current associated (ion-acoustic, ion cyclotron, current convective) instabilities. The results are discussed in the context of present ionospheric modification (heating) experiments, for the high and low latitude ionosphere.
