Drift vortices are described by the Hasegawa--Mima equation in the case of density gradient drift waves. From computer results, it is known that the modon solutions of the Hasegawa--Mima equation are quite stable. Here the linear stability of ground state modon solutions is proved analytically by an indirect technique.
